Brand new owner and want to buy a good Lenox blade. I’ll be cutting bar stock from 1/4” through 1” and angle iron up to 2”x2”x1/4” and square tubing 1/8” thick 2”x2”. All mild steel. What would be my best blade selection if I only selected one blade? Many thanks.
|
I suggest a bi-metal 10-14 tooth. That is all I use for everything, for steel, aluminum, bronze, and plastics.?
Lenox is an excellent choice.?
I started using Irwin blades several years ago, when Enco quit stocking Lenox. ?They don’t last quite as long, but the cost half what a Lenox does.?

The easiest solution for cutting thin material with a 10-14 blade, is a down-feed control cylinder. My Grizzly saw came with a cylinder, which was one of the reasons I chose it over the HF.

Nothing wrong with that.
Free is a very good price, and also my favorite! ;)
Until you do add a cylinder, for occasional cuts in thin materials, it’s easy enough to control the feed rate by hand. A friend has a HF saw, and that’s what he does for exhaust tubing etc.

FYI Chris, and all,
?
Here’s the Irwin blade I have been buying:
My MSC price is $21.99. It was $14.99 last time I bought a couple.
?
This is (I think) the Lenox blade I was originally buying:
My MSC price is $30.15.
?
I don’t know if you get a discount at MSC. My Enco discount was carried over when they killed off the Enco brand. (most of us wish that didn’t happen)
Without a discount, I would sure be checking prices elsewhere. Pays to shop, regardless!
J
They do have a free shipping (UPS ground only) special on right now, and valid to 5/23/20. Use promo code FREE90.

Carl, you are letting the cut through the wood control the speed of the cut, interesting where do you find oak pallets? Most seem to be scrap pine.

Last time I remember getting hardwood pallets, was with a truck load of cinderblocks, but that was 15 years ago. Not sure if they are still using hardwood these days.
Might be worth a look at a Home Depot or Lowes to see what they have to give away. Busted pallets would work fine, and they generally toss ‘em in a dumpster.
Wood stove pellets come on pine pallets. I have a ton of ‘em. One of these days, I’ll find a use for the things, besides taking up space!

Ralph,

Yes, it won’t cut through the wood to fast. (I run a bimetal 10-14)
Probably faster with pine though. I live in Alabama, maybe more oak available,
if you can locate some that bricks or masonry come on they need to be stronger
so may be oak, don’t really have a particular place to get them, just keep my
eyes open, many places are glad to get rid of them particularly if they are
damaged which I don’t care about. Just have to keep your eyes open, there are
tons of them out there.

I don't know the TPI on my blade, and I don't care.? If I'm cutting thick stock, it's all good.? If I'm cutting thin stock, I just slip in some 1x2 maple flooring (which I have a lot of) ind it's still good.
|
You always want a minimum of 3 teeth engagement so for 1/4" minimum bar stock you need a minimum of 12 TPI - Lenox recommends 14/18 TPI. For 1/8" wall thickness tubing Lenox recommends 8/12 TPI. If you are cutting a bundle of tubing you can go one pitch coarser to 6/10 TPI. I like their bimetal blades. I run a variable pitch 10 to 14 but don't cut anything thinner than about 3/8.
Brand new owner and want to buy a good Lenox blade. I’ll be cutting bar stock from 1/4” through 1” and angle iron up to 2”x2”x1/4” and square tubing 1/8” thick 2”x2”. All mild steel. What would be my best blade selection if I only selected one blade? Many thanks.

I started using Irwin blades
several years ago, when Enco quit stocking
Lenox.? They don’t last quite as long, but the
cost half what a Lenox does.?

?Brand new owner and want
to buy a good Lenox blade. I’ll be cutting
bar stock from 1/4” through 1” and angle
iron up to 2”x2”x1/4” and square tubing 1/8”
thick 2”x2”. All mild steel. What would be
my best blade selection if I only selected
one blade? Many thanks.

I can't add anything on the recommendations - you guys know
far more than me.
But I thought I'd pass along that
sels the linux blade Bill linked to below.? Their current
price is $26.95, free shipping for orders over $50.? They
often have coupon codes giving a discount? on larger orders.

FYI
Chris, and all,
?
Here’s
the Irwin blade I have been buying:
My
MSC price is $21.99. It was $14.99 last time I
bought a couple.

This
is (I think) the Lenox blade I was originally
buying:
My
MSC price is $30.15.

I
don’t know if you get a discount at MSC. My Enco
discount was carried over when they killed off the
Enco brand. (most of us wish that didn’t happen)
Without
a discount, I would sure be checking prices
elsewhere. Pays to shop, regardless!

They
do have a free shipping (UPS ground only) special on
right now, and valid to 5/23/20. Use promo code
FREE90.

Might
be worth your while and wallet, to try both brands.
