Lenox 87914CLB123810 Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87914CLB123810 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and job-shop environments. Measuring 150 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width with a 0.042-inch back thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable-pitch, Vari-Raker tooth form delivers smooth cuts while minimizing vibration and blade chatter across a range of material thicknesses. At 6 to 10 TPI, it handles a broad spectrum of stock profiles, from thin-wall tubing to solid bar stock. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and pipefitting trades as well as industrial maintenance techs routinely specify this blade for production and maintenance cutting.

This blade suits vertical and horizontal band saws in production shops, mechanical rooms, and fabrication environments. It is rated for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The M42 cobalt-alloyed tooth material provides extended edge retention when cutting harder alloys and abrasive materials that would rapidly dull standard bi-metal blades. It is particularly well-suited to contour-free, straight-cut applications on mixed material stock.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive alloys
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish across varying material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance and reduces blade loading
• Spring steel back resists fatigue cracking under continuous bandsaw tension
• 0.068-inch kerf width balances material removal rate with cut precision
• Compatible with alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed for vertical and horizontal band saws that accept a 150-inch blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician following the band saw manufacturer's recommended tension and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout-tagout the band saw before mounting or removing any blade. Inspect blade guides, guide bearings, and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade. Do not exceed the blade speed rating published on the saw nameplate for the material being cut.
