Lenox 14248RPB154725 Bandsaw Blade 186in 1-1/4in 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 14248RPB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 186 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width, it carries a variable pitch tooth pattern running 3 to 4 TPI and a 0.042-inch blade thickness. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material delivers superior heat and wear resistance, making this blade suitable for cutting a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Set tooth set and positive rake angle work together to reduce vibration and improve cut quality on varying cross-sections. Licensed HVAC and mechanical tradespeople, machinists, and metal fabricators are the primary installers of this blade.

This blade is designed for use on horizontal and vertical band saws that accept a 186-inch blade loop. The variable pitch configuration makes it well-suited for structural shapes, tubing, solid bar stock, and bundled cutting where consistent chip load control is critical. The LENOX RX Plus series targets production environments where blade life and cut straightness are primary concerns. The spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking during continuous-duty cycling. It is not intended for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation
• Spring steel back construction resists fatigue cracking under continuous-duty loads
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cuts on solid bar and structural shapes
• 0.070-inch kerf width delivers consistent, repeatable cuts with minimal material loss
• Factory-welded loop requires no on-site joining — install directly on saw guides

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or upgrade blade for band saws configured to accept a 186-inch welded loop with a 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify your saw's blade length specification, wheel size, and guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw completely before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the tooth edge is exposed. Do not exceed the saw's rated blade width or tension specification.
