Lenox 87929CLB144395 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 87929CLB144395 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 14 feet 5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 6 to 10 teeth per inch (TPI) that reduces vibration and improves cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel — a cobalt-enhanced grade known for heat and wear resistance — bonded to a flexible spring steel back. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch pattern work together to minimize blade noise and extend service life in production cutting cycles.

This blade is designed for use on floor-standing and semi-professional bandsaw machines capable of accepting blades up to 14 feet 5 inches. It is suited for contour-free straight cutting operations across a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. Typical install scenarios include machine shops, fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and metal service centers where mixed-material cutting is routine. The variable pitch design makes it particularly effective on bundles, tubing, and structural profiles where a constant-pitch blade would chatter.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended wear resistance in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch reduces vibration and noise across varying material cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent feed
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through continuous banding cycles
• 0.058 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction delivers a consistent, repeatable blade loop with no mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock blade for bandsaw machines that accept blades 14 feet 5 inches in length and 1 inch in width. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator or maintenance technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that wheel guards are in place and blade tension is set according to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or loose blade stock. Do not exceed the machine's rated blade width or speed range for the material being cut.
