Lenox 13204GTB154724 Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 13204GTB154724 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and commercial shop environments. Measuring 15 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade carries a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern that helps reduce vibration and harmonics during the cut. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are electron beam welded to a spring steel back, delivering heat and wear resistance that outlasts carbon-steel blades on tough alloys. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, or metalworking trades running horizontal or vertical band saws will find the Contestor GT Series construction suited to production-rate cutting without frequent blade changes.

This blade is built for a wide range of metal stock, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, nickel alloy, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Set tooth geometry make it appropriate for cutting solid bar, structural profiles, and tubing where consistent chip load and surface finish matter. It is sold as a single pre-welded blade ready to mount on a compatible band saw with a 15 feet 6 inch blade capacity.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for toughness and edge retention
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and lowers the risk of tooth stripping on varied cross-sections
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern distributes cutting forces evenly across the blade width
• Ground, positive-rake tooth form promotes aggressive, accurate cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 0.068-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Pre-welded loop ships ready to install — no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed to fit band saws requiring a 15 feet 6 inch blade loop, 1-1/4 inches wide, and 0.042 inches thick. Verify your saw's wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tensioning range before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified shop technician following the saw manufacturer's guidelines and applicable OSHA machine-guarding requirements. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Set blade tension and tracking per the machine's specification before running under load, and confirm all blade guards and guides are properly adjusted. Do not operate the saw if the blade shows any sign of a cracked weld or kinked back.
