Lenox 87913CLB123810 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 6 in

Product Description

The LENOX 87913CLB123810 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial environments. The blade measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable pitch of 6 to 10 TPI. The cutting edge features a Vari-Raker tooth set and variable tooth form, which reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, bonded to a spring steel back for resilience under continuous cutting loads. Licensed metalworking professionals and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this blade.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in cutting structural steel, alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design makes it effective across both thin-walled sections and heavier solid stock where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or stall. It is a practical choice for job shops and production environments that run a single blade across varied workpiece profiles. The Classic series designation places it within a proven LENOX product line intended for general industrial metal cutting.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for machines accepting a 12-foot 6-inch loop, 1-inch wide blade with 0.035-inch thickness. Verify your saw's wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension specifications before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician familiar with bandsaw tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw at the disconnect before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and mounting. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications before making a test cut.
