Lenox 87916CLB123910 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 87916CLB123910 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting of a wide range of metals in industrial and trade shop environments. At 154 inches (12 feet 10 inches) long and 1 inch wide, this blade fits mid-size to large vertical and horizontal band saws. The variable pitch tooth pattern runs 6 to 10 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and chatter during cuts on structural shapes, tubing, and solid stock. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material delivers heat resistance and edge retention well beyond standard carbon-tooth blades. Blade thickness is 0.035 inches with a kerf width of 0.058 inches.

This blade is suited for metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and mechanical trade work. Its variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set handle a broad mix of workpiece geometries, from thin-wall tubing to solid bar stock. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Classic series designation indicates a general-purpose profile appropriate for production and service cutting where consistent blade life and smooth finish are required.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 6 to 10 TPI reduces vibration and chatter on structural and tubular stock
• M42 high-speed steel teeth provide superior heat and wear resistance over standard HSS grades
• Bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with hardened tooth tips for flexibility and edge retention
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip evacuation and extends blade life across mixed material cuts
• 0.035-inch blade thickness with 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction delivers a consistent, balanced blade with no mechanical joint fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stocking blade for band saws accepting a 154-inch (12 feet 10 inches) blade loop, 1 inch wide, 0.035 inches thick. Confirm your saw manufacturer specifications for blade length, width, and thickness before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the saw manufacturer guidelines. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing or installing any blade. Use appropriate blade-handling gloves when uncoiling or mounting the blade, as tooth edges are sharp. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment before resuming cutting operations.
