Lenox 96282QPB123810 Welded Bandsaw Blade Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 96282QPB123810 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting operations on horizontal and vertical band saws used in metal fabrication and industrial sawing applications. The blade measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.035 inches and a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 3 to 4 TPI. The M42-plus high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance suited for demanding cuts through a wide range of metals. A positive rake angle and single-level tooth set promote efficient chip removal and consistent cutting performance.

This blade is intended for professional and industrial use in metal cutting environments. The variable pitch design reduces vibration and harmonic noise during the cut, which is especially useful when sawing structural shapes, solid bar stock, or bundled material. Suitable material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. It is commonly installed on production band saws in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments where a range of metal types and cross-sections are processed regularly.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch tooth form (3 to 4 TPI) reduces vibration and extends blade life across varied material cross-sections
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive cutting action on a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Ground, toothed, and variable cutting edge style delivers consistent kerf and smooth surface finish
• Single-level tooth set with a 0.060-inch kerf width for controlled material removal
• QXP series blade designed for demanding industrial cutting cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement blade for horizontal and vertical band saws accepting a 12-foot 6-inch by 1-inch blade. Verify blade length, width, and thickness specifications against your machine manufacturer requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before removing the worn blade or installing a new one. Confirm proper blade tension and tracking adjustment according to the saw manufacturer guidelines before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard.
