Lenox CL16038CL13583 Welded Bandsaw Blade 6-10 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX CL16038CL13583 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and industrial environments. The blade runs 13 feet 7 inches in total length and measures 3/4 inch wide by 0.035 inches thick, with a kerf width of 0.058 inches. It carries a variable 6 to 10 TPI tooth pattern using a Vari-Raker tooth set, which distributes cutting forces across the stroke to reduce vibration and extend blade life. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material resists heat buildup during continuous cuts through hard alloys and stainless steel. Licensed metalworking technicians and machine operators are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting on vertical or horizontal band saws in production and maintenance environments. The variable pitch pattern makes it effective across a broad range of material thicknesses without requiring a blade change. Compatible applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Classic series designation places this blade in a well-established general-purpose product line intended for high-cycle shop use.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and edge retention
• Variable 6 to 10 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chip load variation
• 13 feet 7 inches welded loop length fits a wide range of mid-size band saws
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Milled and variable cutting edge style supports consistent tooth geometry across the full blade length
• Rated for alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded blade for mid-size metal-cutting band saws that accept a 13-foot 7-inch loop, 3/4-inch wide blade.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout the band saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify that wheel guides, blade guards, and tensioning mechanisms are properly adjusted before resuming operation. Follow the machine manufacturer's specifications for blade tension and tracking alignment to prevent premature blade fatigue or wheel damage.
