Lenox 88209CLB154570 Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 1 in 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 88209CLB154570 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. Measuring 15 feet in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch design runs 4 to 6 teeth per inch (TPI) with a Vari-Raker tooth set, reducing vibration and improving cut quality across varying material cross-sections. Licensed metalworking technicians, fabricators, and machine operators rely on this blade for consistent performance on production bandsaws.

This blade is suited 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 configuration makes it particularly effective when workpiece profiles change in cross-section, such as structural tubing, angle iron, or solid bar stock. It is intended for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 15-foot blade with a 1-inch width. The Classic series designation places it within a standard production line designed for high-cycle shop use.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for toughness and edge retention
• Variable pitch at 4 to 6 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during cutting
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent tooth loading
• Positive tooth rake angle improves cutting aggressiveness on metal stock
• 0.058-inch kerf width provides a clean, controlled cut path
• Compatible with a wide material range including stainless steel, aluminum, and structural steel

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a 15-foot blade with a 1-inch width and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, and tool steel.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by qualified machine operators or metalworking technicians with the bandsaw fully powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout-tagout procedures. Verify that wheel guides, blade tension, and tracking are set according to the machine manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wearing cut-resistant gloves when handling uninstalled bandsaw blades is strongly recommended. Never force a blade onto wheels that are not properly sized for the blade width or length.
