Lenox Portable Band Saw Blades 44-7/8" x 1/2" x .020" 14 TPI — 5-Pack Bi-Metal, Shatter-Resistant

Lenox 44-7/8" x 1/2" x .020" 14 TPI bi-metal portable band saw blades deliver durable, shatter-resistant cutting for fabricators and contractors who need reliable metal cutting performance. These five replacement blades are engineered to extend cutting life while maintaining consistent performance in portable band saws. Constructed with high-speed steel teeth welded to a flexible backing, the bi-metal design balances wear resistance and bendability so blades resist breaking under jobsite stresses. At 14 teeth per inch, these blades are sized to slice through round and solid materials typically between 3/16" and 3/8" diameter, making them a practical choice for routine metalworking tasks.

What materials and diameters can these blades cut effectively?

These Lenox bands are designed for general-purpose metal cutting, especially round stock and smaller solid pieces. They handle a wide range of metals used by fabricators and contractors without rapid dulling.

• Cuts most ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Optimal for 3/16" to 3/8" diameter stock
• 14 TPI tooth pitch balances speed and finish
• Ideal for rebar, pipe, conduit, bar stock, and structural components

How does the bi-metal construction improve blade life?

The blades use high-speed steel teeth fused to a tough, flexible backing so they combine a hard cutting edge with bend resistance. This fusion reduces catastrophic breakage and spreads wear over more material, which extends usable life on the job.

• High-speed steel teeth for edge retention
• Flexible backing prevents shattering under stress
• Tuff Tooth reinforcement adds localized durability
• Lower cost per cut compared with standard blades

Will these blades fit my portable band saw and what size are they?

These replacement blades are 44-7/8" long, 1/2" wide, and .020" thick, which suits a wide variety of portable band saw models that accept that size. Check your saw's manual or existing blade markings to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

• Length: 44-7/8" (standard portable band saw size)
• Width: 1/2" for robust cutting and stability
• Thickness: .020" for flexibility and strength
• Pack of 5 blades for multiple jobs or replacements

How do these blades perform on the jobsite compared with alternatives?

Lenox’s bi-metal construction and Tuff Tooth design provide a combination of durability and consistent cutting speed that reduces downtime. Users typically see improved lifespan versus simple carbon blades and better chip evacuation and finish than coarse-pitch options.

• Longer service life reduces blade changes
• Shatter-resistant for safer jobsite use
• Maintains cutting edge under high-load conditions
• Balanced tooth pitch for moderate feed rates and smooth cuts

These five-pack blades are intended for professionals and serious DIYers who need dependable replacement blades for portable band saws. If you regularly cut small-diameter metal stock, perform on-site fabrication, or require durable blades that tolerate bending and heavy use, this Lenox 14 TPI pack delivers consistent, cost-effective performance without frequent replacements.
