LENOX Band Saw Tachometer | 62139

Built for band saw setup and speed verification, the LENOX 62139 Band Saw Tachometer helps operators confirm that a saw is running at the proper band speed before cutting. Band speed is the blade travel rate, commonly used to match saw setup to the material being cut. Running too fast or too slow can shorten blade life, affect cut quality, and make it harder to follow recommended cutting rates.

The 62139 Tachometer is a precision checking tool used to calibrate a band saw machine’s internal tachometer or to check band speeds on machines that do not have a built-in tachometer. For sawing departments, fabrication shops, toolrooms, and maintenance teams, it provides a practical way to verify machine speed as part of blade setup, troubleshooting, and process control.

Type: Band Saw Tachometer | Brand: LENOX | SKU / Product No.: 62139 | Application: Band speed measurement | Use: Calibrating machine tachometers and checking band speeds

Features:

• Measures band speed so operators can verify that the saw is running at the proper cutting rate.
• Helps calibrate a band saw machine’s internal tachometer for more reliable speed readings.
• Useful for checking band speeds on saw machines that do not have a built-in tachometer.
• Supports proper saw setup, which is essential for optimum tool life and consistent cutting performance.
• Helps operators work toward cutting rates recommended by LENOX SAWCALC® when dialing in sawing conditions.
• Practical diagnostic tool for troubleshooting speed-related blade wear, poor cut finish, or inconsistent sawing results.

Applications:

• Metal fabrication shops: Verifying band speed before cutting steel, tubing, bar stock, plate, and structural materials.
• Production sawing: Checking machine speed as part of repeatable setup procedures for recurring cut jobs.
• Industrial maintenance & MRO: Confirming saw performance after service, belt changes, pulley adjustments, or machine troubleshooting.
• Toolrooms & machine shops: Matching band speed to the workpiece material before cutting blanks, fixtures, and repair components.
• Small shop and garage sawing: Checking saw speed on machines without built-in tachometers to support better blade selection and setup.

FAQs:

• Q: What does the LENOX 62139 Band Saw Tachometer measure?
  A: It measures band speed so the operator can verify how fast the blade is running. This helps confirm whether the machine is set up for the cutting rate required by the material and blade being used.
• Q: Why is proper band speed important?
  A: Proper band speed is essential for optimum tool life. If the blade speed is not matched to the cutting application, blade wear, cut quality, and overall sawing consistency can be affected.
• Q: Can this tachometer be used on a saw that already has a built-in tachometer?
  A: Yes. LENOX states that this tool can be used to calibrate a band saw machine’s internal tachometer, helping verify that the machine’s speed reading is accurate.
• Q: Is this useful for machines without a tachometer?
  A: Yes. The tool is also used to check band speeds on machines that do not have a tachometer, giving operators a way to verify speed instead of relying only on machine settings.
• Q: Is this a blade tension meter?
  A: No. The 62139 is a tachometer for band speed measurement. Blade tension is checked with a separate tension meter.
