Lenox 93620RPB123810 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 93620RPB123810 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shops and fabrication environments. The blade measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. It runs a variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI using a Vari-Raker tooth set, which reduces harmonic vibration and chip loading during cuts. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel bonded to a spring steel back, a construction that holds an edge longer than standard carbon blades while resisting tooth strippage under interrupted cuts. Licensed metalworking professionals and toolroom machinists are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for contour and straight cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in commercial metal fabrication, maintenance and repair operations, and production cutting environments. The RX Plus series variable-pitch geometry handles a range of structural shapes, solid bar stock, and bundled sections where constant-pitch blades would chatter or wear prematurely. The toothed, milled cutting edge style delivers consistent surface finish on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This is not designed for contour cutting applications where tight radius work is required.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life under heavy feeds
• Variable pitch 5-8 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material waste on production cuts
• Positive tooth rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting action
• Welded construction provides a consistent, balanced joint for continuous-loop operation
• RX Plus series bi-metal design handles both ferrous and non-ferrous stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical band saw machines that accept a 12-foot 6-inch blade loop, 1 inch wide, 0.035 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician with the machine fully powered down and the blade tension released before removing the old blade. Confirm wheel diameter, blade length, and blade width specifications against the saw manufacturer guidelines before mounting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade — the uncoiling process can cause the blade to spring unexpectedly. Set blade tension and blade guide clearances per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation.
