Lenox 1770711 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1770711 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications on vertical and horizontal band saws. Measuring 16 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness, it runs on saws sized for that loop length. The variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces harmonics and chatter during the cut, which extends blade life and improves surface finish on thick or tough workpieces. The M42+ high speed steel tooth material and ground tooth form are suited for shops cutting a wide range of metals, from carbon steel to titanium. This blade is installed by machinists, tool-room technicians, and fabricators.

This blade is designed for contour-free straight and structural cutting on production and job-shop band saws that accept a 16-foot 6-inch loop. Its variable pitch pattern and positive rake angle make it effective across a broad material range including alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The single-level tooth set and spring steel back contribute to consistent tracking and reduced blade drift during extended cutting cycles. It is a practical choice wherever a durable, general-purpose bi-metal blade is needed for medium to heavy metal sawing work.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and chatter, improving cut quality and blade longevity
• Ground tooth form with positive rake angle for clean, efficient stock removal
• Single-level tooth set maintains consistent kerf width of 0.070 inches throughout blade life
• Spring steel back provides flex resistance and stable tracking on the saw wheels
• Compatible with a wide material range: alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, titanium, and more

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or upgrade welded bandsaw blade for vertical or horizontal band saws that accept a 16-foot 6-inch blade loop with a 1-1/4-inch blade width. Confirm wheel spacing, blade guide clearance, and drive tension specifications on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw blade changes. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. Follow the saw manufacturer's tension and tracking guidelines for 1-1/4-inch blades before making the first cut.
