Lenox 87918CLB134015 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 87918CLB134015 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional fabrication and maintenance environments. Measuring 13 feet 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it installs on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws common in shops and trade settings. The variable-pitch tooth form spans 6 to 10 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration during the cut and improving performance across a range of material thicknesses. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides wear resistance on hard metals. Licensed metalworkers, machinists, and trade technicians are the primary installers of this blade type.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of metals in production and maintenance shops. Confirmed material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable-pitch Vari-Raker tooth set and spring steel back make it effective on both solid bar stock and structural profiles. It is intended for contour-free, straight structural cutting rather than contour or radius work.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard metals
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut
• Vari-Raker tooth set for consistent chip clearance across varied material cross-sections
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance under continuous band tension
• 0.058-inch kerf width for efficient material removal with minimal waste
• LENOX Classic series — welded and ready to install straight from the package

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for professional metal-cutting band saws accepting a 1-inch-wide blade in a 13-foot 2-inch loop length. Verify drive wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the host saw's tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out all power to the saw before removing the old blade or fitting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Follow the saw manufacturer's specified tension setting for a 1-inch bi-metal blade and confirm proper tracking on the drive and idler wheels before resuming operation.
