Lenox 87899CLB113505 Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87899CLB113505 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of metal stock. Measuring 11 feet 6 inches in length and 0.035 inches thick with a 3/4-inch width, this blade features a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 5 to 8 TPI. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers heat and wear resistance, while the spring steel back provides consistent flex and fatigue resistance during continuous cuts. A Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip clearance, making this a practical choice for metal fabrication shops and service contractors.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in metal cutting environments. It handles a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design helps minimize harmonic vibration when cutting variable cross-sections or bundled stock, which is a common requirement in structural and fabrication work. It is not intended for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard metals
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish on mixed-section stock
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent feed rates
• Spring steel back resists fatigue during high-cycle or continuous-use cutting operations
• Welded blade format provides a seamless loop ready for direct installation on compatible bandsaws
• Cuts alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or aftermarket blade for bandsaw machines accepting an 11-foot 6-inch loop blade with a 3/4-inch width. Verify your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Confirm proper blade tension according to the saw manufacturer's guidelines, and check blade tracking before resuming cuts. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades.
