Lenox 1772324 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772324 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and shop environments. Measuring 130 inches in length and 1 inch in width with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it runs on standard horizontal and vertical band saws that accept this loop size. The blade is built on a spring steel back with M42+ high speed steel teeth, a positive rake angle, and a Vari-Raker tooth set. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, improving surface finish and extending blade life across mixed-material or interrupted cuts. Licensed tradespeople and tool room machinists are the primary installers and users.

This blade is suited for production sawing of solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing in materials that range from aluminum and non-ferrous metals to alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium. The variable pitch design makes it effective on both thin-wall and heavy-section workpieces without requiring a blade change. It fits shops running high-cycle production as well as maintenance environments where a single versatile blade must handle multiple material types. The QXP series designation indicates it is positioned for high-performance applications where cut rate and blade longevity are priorities.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in tough alloys and titanium
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI Vari-Raker pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over long run times
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss on expensive stock
• Positive rake angle supports aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Welded loop construction eliminates the need for on-site blade joining

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical band saws requiring a 130-inch blade loop, 1-inch width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Verify your saw manufacturer specifications for loop length, width, and thickness before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified operator or machinist following the saw manufacturer guidelines. Power down and lockout the machine before removing the worn blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. After installation, verify blade tracking and tension at the manufacturer-recommended setting before running material, and allow a brief break-in period at reduced feed rate to seat the new teeth.
