Lenox 87938CLB154570 Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87938CLB154570 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 15 feet long and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch blade thickness and a variable-pitch tooth form spanning 5 to 8 TPI. The blade is built on a spring steel back for fatigue resistance during continuous cutting. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance when cutting through tough alloys. Designed for stationary horizontal or vertical bandsaw machines, this blade is suited for fabrication shops and metalworking operations where consistent, accurate cuts are required.

This blade is intended for sawing a wide range of metals in commercial and industrial settings. 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 reduces vibration and harmonic chatter, making it effective on both solid bar stock and structural sections. It is not designed for contour cutting. Typical users include machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with metal stock in shop environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch (5 to 8 TPI) with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying cross-sections
• 0.0680-inch kerf width provides a controlled cut path with minimal material waste
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style suited for multi-material metal applications
• Rated for alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals
• Welded blade construction for use on standard bandsaw machines requiring a 15-foot loop

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaw machines requiring a 15-foot blade loop, 1-1/4-inch blade width, and a 5 to 8 TPI variable-pitch bi-metal blade.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw machinery. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Verify that the blade guides, tension settings, and wheel tracking are adjusted per the machine manufacturer specifications before running. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as edges remain sharp at rest.
