Lenox 87941CLB154725 Welded Bandsaw Blade Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87941CLB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 15 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern spanning 6 to 10 TPI. The cutting teeth are High Speed Steel M42 grade, bonded to a spring steel back for fatigue resistance during continuous cuts. The Vari-Raker tooth set and variable pitch configuration reduce harmonic vibration, extend blade life, and produce cleaner cuts across a range of material thicknesses. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and metalworking fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals on horizontal or vertical band saws that accept a 15-foot 6-inch blade. The variable pitch design makes it versatile across varying stock thicknesses and cross-sections in both production and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) settings. It is not designed for contour cutting applications. The Classic series designation indicates a standard production blade profile appropriate for general-purpose metal cutting in job shop and light industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following the band saw manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the machine before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify wheel tracking, blade tension, and blade guide clearances according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming cuts. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades.
