Lenox 1772321 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772321 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for cutting a wide range of metals in industrial and trade shop applications. Measuring 10 feet 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade fits standard vertical and horizontal band saws used in fabrication and service environments. The variable pitch tooth form runs at 3 to 4 TPI, reducing vibration and improving cut quality across varying material cross-sections. The M42-plus high speed steel tooth material delivers extended edge life when cutting hard or abrasive alloys. Licensed metalworking professionals and fabrication shops are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The positive rake angle and ground variable tooth form make it effective on both solid bar stock and structural shapes. It is a strong fit for production cutting environments where a single blade must handle multiple material types without frequent changeovers. The QXP series designation indicates it is positioned for demanding metal-cutting applications where blade life and cut accuracy are priorities.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flex resistance
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish
• Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge style for consistent kerf and reduced burr
• Single level tooth set with a kerf width of 0.060 inches for controlled material removal
• Positive rake angle supports aggressive feed rates on tough alloys including titanium and stainless steel
• Contour cutting not intended — designed for straight production cuts on metal stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for band saws accepting a 1-inch-wide blade with a 10-foot 2-inch loop length. Verify your saw's blade length specification and wheel diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician familiar with band saw tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or mounting a new one. Use appropriate blade-handling gloves — bi-metal bandsaw blades store significant spring tension and can snap back when uncoiled. Follow the saw manufacturer's tension and tracking guidelines; do not exceed the blade width rating of the saw's guides and wheels.
