Lenox 87930CLB144420 Bandsaw Blade 174in 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87930CLB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. Measuring 174 inches (14 feet 6 inches) long and 3/4 inch wide with a 0.035 inch back thickness, this blade fits standard vertical bandsaws requiring that loop length. The variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration, extends blade life, and produces a cleaner cut across a wide range of material thicknesses. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, giving the blade the toughness to resist tooth stripout on interrupted cuts and hard materials.

This blade is suited for production and maintenance shops cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Rated material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. The vari-raker tooth set and variable pitch design make it a practical choice when a single blade must handle varying stock sizes and material types without a blade change. It is intended for contour-cutting-free straight and structural cuts on vertical bandsaw equipment.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch reduces vibration and noise during cuts
• Vari-raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent kerf
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over long run times
• 0.0580 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded loop construction — no mechanical joint to fail mid-cut

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for vertical bandsaws accepting a 174 inch (14 feet 6 inch) loop length with a 3/4 inch blade width capacity.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or looped bandsaw blades. Verify wheel guards and blade guides are properly adjusted before returning the machine to service.
