Lenox 1772322 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772322 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional fabrication and maintenance environments. At 10 feet 6 inches long and 1 inch wide, this blade is sized for vertical or horizontal band saws commonly found in machine shops, metal fabrication facilities, and HVAC or plumbing trade shops. The cutting edge features a variable-pitch tooth geometry at 3 to 4 TPI, which helps reduce harmonic vibration and chatter during cuts. The M42+ high-speed steel tooth material delivers extended edge retention when cutting hard or abrasive materials. Blade thickness is 0.035 inches with a kerf width of 0.060 inches.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of metals in both production and service-call scenarios. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch and positive rake angle make it effective for cutting solid bar stock, structural sections, and tubing. It is part of the LENOX QXP series, which is designed for high-performance metal-cutting on industrial-grade band saws. Typical users include machinists, pipefitters, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians who cut a wide variety of stock materials.

Key Features

• Variable-pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and extends blade life on mixed or interrupted cuts
• M42+ high-speed steel teeth provide superior hardness and heat resistance for cutting hard alloys and stainless steel
• Spring steel back material adds flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting operations
• Single level tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Ground cutting edge delivers consistent tooth geometry and finish quality across all listed material applications
• Welded construction ensures a secure joint suitable for continuous-loop band saw operation

Compatibility

The LENOX 1772322 is a welded continuous-loop blade designed for band saws that accept a 10-foot 6-inch blade length with a 1-inch blade width. Verify wheel diameter, blade guides, and tension specifications on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw equipment. Power down and lockout-tagout the saw before removing or installing the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth and edges present a laceration hazard. Confirm proper blade tension and guide clearance per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation.
