Lenox 97878QPB103050 Welded Bandsaw Blade 10 Ft

Product Description

The LENOX 97878QPB103050 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for professional cutting applications on a wide range of metals and alloys. At 10 feet long and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it fits standard vertical and horizontal band saws used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial service settings. The variable pitch tooth form runs 4 to 6 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving cut quality across varying stock cross-sections. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides heat and wear resistance when cutting hard alloys, stainless steel, and titanium. Licensed technicians and machinists in metal fabrication and mechanical trades are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad spectrum of materials including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it particularly effective when cutting irregular shapes, bundled stock, or sections with changing cross-sectional area. It is designed for use in production and job-shop environments where blade life and consistent cut finish matter across multiple material types.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and extends blade life on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip clearance and cutting efficiency
• Positive rake angle increases cutting aggressiveness on tough alloys and hard metals
• 0.058-inch kerf width for accurate, consistent cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded construction provides a seamless joint rated for the demands of continuous band saw operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for standard 10-foot band saw machines used in metal-cutting fabrication and maintenance applications. Consult your band saw manufacturer specifications to confirm wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and drive tension requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation 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 old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the edges are sharp. Follow the saw manufacturer guidelines for blade tension, tracking adjustment, and guide bearing clearance before returning the machine to service.
