Lenox 1766388 Welded Bandsaw Blade 19 Ft 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1766388 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Running 19 feet in length and 1-1/2 inches wide, this blade fits stationary band saws commonly used in machine shops, metal service centers, and fabrication facilities. The blade body is spring steel backed with M42+ high speed steel teeth ground to a variable pitch profile at 2 to 3 TPI. That combination of a tough back and hard tooth material handles interrupted cuts, varying cross-sections, and hard alloys without premature tooth wear. Licensed machinists, tool room operators, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is built for cutting a wide range of metals in production and job shop settings. Its variable pitch and positive rake angle make it well suited for cutting solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing across a variety of alloys. Listed material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The QXP series designation from LENOX indicates a performance tier designed for versatility across those diverse material types in a single blade specification.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive alloys
• Variable pitch tooth form at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting on solid sections
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over long run times
• Single level set teeth and ground cutting edge deliver consistent kerf and dimensional accuracy
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready to mount without additional joining

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary horizontal and vertical band saws accepting a 19-foot loop, 1-1/2-inch wide blade. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, throat capacity, and blade guide spacing before installing.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the existing blade or mounting the new one. Confirm correct blade tension per the machine manufacturer's specifications before starting a cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during mounting.
