Lenox 89736QPB123660 Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 1-1/4 in 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 89736QPB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop environments. The blade measures 12 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a kerf width of 0.070 inches. The tooth edge is ground and variable pitch, rated at 2 to 3 TPI, which helps reduce vibration and extend blade life during production cutting. The M42-grade high speed steel tooth material and spring steel back construction make this blade well suited for continuous-duty use on horizontal and vertical band saws in fabrication, tool rooms, and machine shops.

This blade is designed for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch tooth form and positive rake angle optimize chip clearance and cutting efficiency across varying material cross-sections. It is a single-item package and is the correct choice for shops that require a reliable OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for production band saw equipment handling mixed material profiles.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-grade high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch tooth form at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cutting
• Ground, variable cutting edge delivers consistent tooth geometry and finish quality
• Positive tooth rake angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation across a wide range of metals
• 0.070-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Single level tooth set provides uniform kerf and predictable cutting path

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical band saw machines that accept a 12-foot blade loop with a 1-1/4-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per applicable LOTO procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and blade guide spacing on the host machine before installing. Inspect blade guides and wheel tires for wear before mounting the new blade. Always bring blade tension to the machine manufacturer's specification and track the blade before resuming production cuts.
