Lenox 1766402 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1766402 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. The blade measures 12 feet 4 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 4 to 6 TPI. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering edge retention and resistance to tooth strippage when cutting through interrupted cuts or mixed-material workpieces. Licensed metal fabricators, maintenance mechanics, and machine operators are the primary users of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce vibration and harmonic noise during cuts, which is especially important when working with thin-walled tubing, structural shapes, or solid bar stock on production bandsaws. It is not intended for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves chip clearance across diverse material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes harmonic resonance and extends blade life on production cuts
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches provides consistent, clean cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded construction for direct drop-in fitment on compatible bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-stock welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines accepting a 1 inch wide blade in the 12 feet 4 inch loop length. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance mechanic familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw machine before removing the worn blade or installing the new one. Set blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer specifications before running the blade under load. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard.
