Lenox 87901CLB113505 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87901CLB113505 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of a wide range of metals on stationary band saw equipment. Measuring 11 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade carries a variable-pitch tooth pattern ranging from 5 to 8 TPI. The high-speed steel teeth are bonded to a spring steel back, producing a durable cutting edge that resists fatigue under sustained production loads. The M42 grade tooth material provides added heat and wear resistance. Licensed trades and professional metalworking shops rely on this blade for consistent, accurate cuts in demanding applications.

This blade is suited for production and maintenance shop environments where diverse metal stock is processed on a regular basis. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable-pitch tooth form reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cutting, which is especially beneficial when sawing thin-wall tubing, structural sections, or mixed cross-sections. It is a straight contour-cutting blade intended for use on horizontal or vertical band saws with the appropriate blade guides and tension settings for a 1-inch-wide blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch (5 to 8 TPI) with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and extends blade life
• Cuts alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals
• 0.058-inch kerf width for precise material removal
• Welded construction provides a consistent, joint-free blade loop
• LENOX Classic series, part of the standard catalog line for professional metalcutting operations

Compatibility

Designed for stationary band saws that accept a 1-inch-wide blade with appropriate tension and guide settings. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel as stated in manufacturer application data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with band saw blade handling and tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the band saw completely before removing the old blade or mounting a new one. Verify the blade guides, wheel diameter, and tensioning range on the machine are compatible with a 1-inch-wide, 0.035-inch-thick blade before installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades to prevent laceration.
