Lenox 87940CLB154725 Bandsaw Blade 1 in 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87940CLB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial service environments. Measuring 15 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade mounts on horizontal and vertical band saws sized for that blade length. The variable-pitch tooth form, ranging from 5 to 8 TPI, reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, which extends blade life and improves surface finish. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back for consistent performance across a wide range of workpiece materials. Licensed metalworking technicians and fabricators are the primary installers and users.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad spectrum of metals in production and job-site environments. The variable Vari-Raker tooth set is effective on alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The 5 to 8 TPI range makes it a practical general-purpose selection for stock ranging from thin-wall tubing to solid bar stock. It is not rated for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability under load
• Variable pitch, 5 to 8 TPI, reduces vibration and chatter during cuts
• Vari-Raker tooth set optimizes chip clearance across varied stock cross-sections
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded blade loop in LENOX Classic series for consistent dimensional tolerance
• Compatible material applications include stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel, tool steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal and vertical band saws that accept a 15-foot 6-inch blade loop, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify your machine's wheel diameter and blade guide specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by qualified metalworking technicians following the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw at the disconnect before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Do not exceed the blade speed ratings specified by the saw manufacturer for the material being cut.
