Lenox 90489NEB72285 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 90489NEB72285 is a welded carbon steel bandsaw blade designed for contour cutting applications in metal fabrication, woodworking, and general trade use. At 7 feet 6 inches long and 0.025 inches thick, this blade fits a range of standard bandsaw machines. It runs a constant pitch of 14 teeth per inch (TPI) with a raker tooth set and straight tooth form, delivering consistent chip removal and smooth cut finish on a variety of materials. The hard back construction resists flex fatigue during extended cuts. Installation and blade changes are typically performed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades.

This blade is suited for contour cutting tasks where a narrow, consistent-pitch blade is required. The 1/2-inch width and 14 TPI configuration make it appropriate for cutting curves and profiles in softer metals, plastics, wood, and composites. The raker tooth set clears chips efficiently during cuts, reducing heat buildup and extending blade life in moderate-duty production or job-shop environments. The welded construction provides a continuous loop with no mechanical joint, eliminating the weak points associated with mechanical connectors.

Key Features

• Welded continuous loop construction — no mechanical joint for consistent blade tension
• 14 TPI constant pitch for uniform chip load and predictable cut finish
• Raker tooth set with straight tooth form optimized for contour cutting
• Carbon steel blade and tooth material for general-purpose cutting duty
• Hard back type resists flex fatigue during extended or curved cuts
• 1/2-inch blade width supports tight-radius contour work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for standard horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a 7-foot 6-inch blade loop at 1/2-inch width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade length, and blade width specifications match the machine before installing. Adjust blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer guidelines before powering on. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled bandsaw blades.
