Lenox 14187RPB144420 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 14187RPB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 174 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide, it carries a variable-pitch tooth pattern rated at 3 to 4 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and delivers smoother cuts across a range of material thicknesses. The blade uses M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with fatigue resistance. Machinists, pipefitters, and fabricators working with structural steel, pipe, and solid bar stock are the primary installers and end users of this blade.

This blade is suited for production band sawing operations where variable pitch geometry provides an advantage over constant-pitch blades when cutting materials of varying cross-sections. The RX Plus series is built for horizontal and vertical bandsaws operating on ferrous metals and alloys. The Vari-Set tooth set and positive rake angle promote aggressive chip clearing, which helps maintain cut rate during continuous-duty cycles in shop and fabrication environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on ferrous metals
• Variable pitch at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish across variable stock sizes
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles
• Vari-Set tooth set with positive rake angle promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Welded blade construction sized at 174 inches for direct drop-in replacement on compatible bandsaws
• Milled toothed edge for consistent tooth geometry along the full blade length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting horizontal and vertical bandsaws that accept a 174-inch blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the saw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Blade tension and guide settings should be adjusted according to the bandsaw manufacturer specifications for the blade width and thickness being installed. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Inspect blade guides, wheels, and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade.
