Lenox 87919CLB134040 Bandsaw Blade 159in 1in 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 87919CLB134040 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade shop environments. It measures 159 inches (13 feet 3 inches) in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI. The blade body is made from spring steel, while the teeth are tipped with M42 high-speed steel, a cobalt-bearing grade that holds an edge under high heat and abrasive loads. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable tooth form reduce vibration and improve chip clearance during cuts. This blade weighs approximately 2 pounds and is sold individually.

This blade is designed for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in production shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments. The 5 to 8 TPI variable pitch makes it well suited for cutting a wide range of cross-sections in metal stock. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is intended for use by machinists, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians who require consistent, burr-minimized cuts on mixed material types and varying stock sizes.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: spring steel back with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth kerf finish
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, structural steel, and tool steel
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop with no mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a 159-inch blade loop that is 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following the saw manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications. Power down and lockout the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the welded loop can spring open unexpectedly. Verify blade guides, wheel alignment, and tension setting before returning the machine to service.
