Lenox 87931CLB144420 Bandsaw Blade 14 Ft 6 in 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 87931CLB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. It measures 14 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 5 to 8 TPI. The blade body is constructed from spring steel, while the cutting teeth are M42 high speed steel — a combination that provides flexibility in the back and hardness at the cutting edge. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators installing this blade will find it suited to production-level bandsaws requiring a continuous welded loop format.

This blade is designed for use on vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 14-foot 6-inch blade loop. The variable 5-to-8 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and chatter when cutting variable-section workpieces. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It carries the LENOX Classic series designation and is appropriate for both job-shop and production-floor settings where consistent kerf quality and blade life are priorities.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch tooth form (5 to 8 TPI) reduces vibration and improves cut quality on irregular cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set pattern for efficient chip clearance and consistent kerf
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches provides predictable material removal across supported metals
• No rake angle tooth geometry suits a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Welded loop format — ready to install without field joining

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a 14-foot 6-inch continuous welded blade loop, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and general non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before handling or replacing the blade. Confirm wheel diameter and blade guide spacing match the blade width and thickness before tensioning. Do not force the blade onto wheels — improper seating can cause premature weld failure or blade breakage.
