Lenox 93218RPB123660 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft

Product Description

The LENOX 93218RPB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication, mechanical contracting, and industrial maintenance. The blade measures 12 feet long and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance needed to cut through tough ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A positive rake angle and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce cutting force and help control chip load across variable cross-sections. This blade is installed by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with horizontal or vertical bandsaws in shop and field settings.

This blade is suited for general-purpose metal cutting where stock profiles vary in cross-section, making the variable pitch and Vari-Raker set particularly effective. The RX Plus series design targets applications where both cut quality and blade longevity matter, such as structural steel, pipe, and bar stock. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through continuous cycling. Contour cutting is not a rated application for this blade. It is typically installed by trade professionals working in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and industrial service environments.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended wear life in tough metal cutting
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and controls chip load
• Spring steel back construction provides flexibility and fatigue resistance
• Positive rake angle improves cutting efficiency and feed rate
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction ensures consistent tension and straight tracking on bandsaw wheels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws that accept a 12-foot, 1-inch-wide blade. Verify wheel spacing and blade guide clearance on the specific saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm blade tension and tracking adjustment according to the saw manufacturer specifications before running under load. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled bandsaw blades, as the edges are sharp along the full length. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires before mounting a new blade to avoid premature failure.
