Lenox 1772270 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772270 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for professional metal-cutting applications on stationary band saw equipment. Measuring 9 feet 11-1/2 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, it runs a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern to reduce harmonic vibration and improve cut quality across a wide range of material thicknesses. The blade body is spring steel backed with M42+ high speed steel teeth, making it well-suited for demanding production and maintenance cutting environments. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is built for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, and titanium. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it particularly effective when cutting varying cross-sections or bundles where a single fixed pitch would cause chatter or premature tooth wear. It is suited to both production shops and field service environments where accurate, clean cuts in tough materials are required.

Key Features

• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and extends blade life across mixed material thicknesses
• M42+ high speed steel teeth provide increased heat and wear resistance for hard and abrasive metals
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces blade loading
• Spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression on tough materials including titanium and stainless steel
• Welded construction for consistent loop integrity and reduced blade breakage

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary band saw machines accepting a 9 feet 11-1/2 inch loop, 1 inch wide, 0.035 inch thick blade. Confirm machine wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine at the disconnect before removing the worn blade or installing the new one. Verify wheel tracking and blade tension according to the saw manufacturer specifications after installation. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be inspected and adjusted to the new blade width before resuming operation.
