Lenox 1772326 Welded Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft 1 in 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1772326 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 11 feet 1 inch in length and 1 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch body thickness and a variable pitch of 2 to 3 TPI. The tooth material is M42+ high speed steel, offering elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS. A ground, variable cutting edge and positive rake angle combine to deliver consistent chip removal across a wide range of workpiece materials. Licensed welders, machinists, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for contour-free, straight-cut operations on a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch and single-level tooth set make it adaptable to varying cross-sections and material densities encountered in production cutting environments. It is intended for use on bandsaw machines that accept an 11-foot 1-inch continuous welded loop blade with a 1-inch width capacity.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across changing cross-sections
• Ground tooth form with positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient material removal
• Spring steel back construction provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles
• 0.060-inch kerf width supports consistent, repeatable cuts with minimal material loss
• Single-level tooth set for uniform kerf and reduced blade deflection

Compatibility

Designed for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaws configured to accept an 11-foot 1-inch welded loop blade that is 1 inch wide. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the bandsaw powered down and the drive unplugged or locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the blade guides, wheel spacing, and blade tension are set to the machine manufacturer's specifications for a 1-inch-wide blade before operating. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling any bandsaw blade. Inspect the blade for weld integrity and tooth condition prior to each use.
