Lenox 87945CLB164875 Bandsaw Blade 16 Ft 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 87945CLB164875 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and industrial maintenance environments. The blade runs 16 feet long and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch back thickness and a 0.068-inch kerf width. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, delivering heat and wear resistance needed when cutting through tough materials at sustained feed rates. The variable 5 to 8 TPI Vari-Raker tooth form reduces vibration, minimizes tooth stripping on variable-section workpieces, and produces a cleaner cut across a wider range of stock sizes without a blade change.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in metal fabrication, maintenance, and production cutting. It handles a wide range of workpiece materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and general non-ferrous metals. The Classic series variable-pitch design makes it practical for shops that cut mixed stock profiles, bundle cutting, and solid bar or tube work on a single blade setup. Licensed welders and metal fabrication technicians are the primary installers and operators.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended life on hard and abrasive metals
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexion cracking over extended run time
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI Vari-Raker tooth form reduces vibration and prevents tooth strippage on variable-section cuts
• 0.068-inch kerf width minimizes material waste per cut
• Bi-metal construction handles alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and structural steel
• Factory-welded loop ships ready to mount — no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 16-foot, 1-1/4-inch-wide blade.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout/tagout the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Confirm wheel guides, blade guides, and blade tension are set to the manufacturer's specifications for the blade width before returning the machine to service.
