Lenox 87939CLB154570 Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 6-10 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87939CLB154570 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and industrial environments. It measures 15 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness. The tooth edge runs a variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch with a Vari-Raker tooth set, which helps reduce vibration and extend blade life when cutting through varying cross-sections. The cutting teeth are M42 high speed steel, a cobalt-enhanced grade well suited for hard and abrasive metals. The spring steel back provides flex resistance during continuous operation. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics running production or job-shop bandsaws.

This blade is designed for cutting a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern and Vari-Raker tooth set make it well suited for structural shapes, solid bar stock, and bundled sections where consistent chip clearance and reduced blade noise are priorities. The 15-foot length targets mid-size vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines commonly found in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for cutting hard and abrasive metals including stainless and tool steel
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and harmonics during cuts
• Spring steel back for flex resistance and fatigue life during continuous bandsaw operation
• 0.0680-inch kerf width for controlled material removal and reduced waste
• Welded construction provides a consistent, ready-to-install loop
• Wide material compatibility: alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit bandsaw blade for mid-size metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 15-foot by 1-1/4-inch blade. Verify wheel diameter, blade tracking width, and blade tension specifications on your machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance mechanic familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, and confirm blade tension and wheel alignment per the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be inspected and adjusted at each blade change.
