Lenox 1772269 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772269 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance environments. The blade measures 118 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 4 to 6 TPI. The M42+ high-speed steel tooth material and Vari-Raker tooth set deliver consistent chip clearance and reduced vibration across varying workpiece cross-sections. Spring steel backing provides fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles. This blade is part of the LENOX QXP series, designed for high-performance production cutting.

This blade is suited for vertical and horizontal bandsaws used in structural and production metal cutting. The variable pitch and positive rake angle make it effective on a wide range of cross-sections, including solid bar, tube, and structural shapes. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. It is a practical choice for shops cutting mixed material runs without changing blades between jobs.

Key Features

• M42+ high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut surface finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip evacuation and reduces tooth loading
• Spring steel back resists fatigue cracking during high-cycle production runs
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression on tough alloys including titanium and stainless
• Toothed, milled, variable cutting edge provides smooth entry and exit on varied cross-sections

Compatibility

Designed as a welded bandsaw blade replacement for bandsaws accepting a 118-inch blade length with a 1-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and blade tension released before removal or installation. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing match the blade width and thickness before tensioning. Always set blade tracking and tension per the saw manufacturer specifications before making the first cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blades.
