Lenox 95568QPB123910 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 95568QPB123910 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. It measures 12 feet 10 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness, with a variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI. The blade is built on a spring steel back with M42-plus high speed steel teeth, a vari-raker tooth set, and a positive rake angle. This combination delivers aggressive cutting action while managing heat and prolonging blade life across a wide range of material types and cross-sections. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and users.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaws in job shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. Its variable pitch and M42-plus tooth material make it appropriate for cutting structural sections, solid bar stock, and bundled material. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, titanium, and other non-ferrous metals. The QXP series construction is designed to handle interrupted cuts and variable cross-sections without premature tooth stripping.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip evacuation across mixed cross-sections
• Vari-raker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient, aggressive cutting action
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded blade in a single continuous loop, ready to install without field joining
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 1 inch wide blade with a 12 foot 10 inch loop length. Verify your saw's blade length specification and wheel diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance mechanic familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before running under load. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard even when the machine is off.
