Lenox 1772329 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772329 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and field environments. Measuring 138 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide at 0.042 inches thick, this blade features a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern with a Vari-Raker tooth set that reduces vibration and extends blade life during sustained cuts. The tooth tips are M42+ high speed steel, delivering hardness and heat resistance on tough workpieces. A spring steel back provides the flexibility and fatigue resistance needed for continuous bandsaw operation. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, or mechanical contractors and metal fabricators working with structural stock will find this blade a reliable production workhorse.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines commonly used in metal fabrication shops, mechanical contractors shops, and industrial maintenance facilities. The variable pitch design makes it effective across a range of material thicknesses and cross-sections without requiring a blade change. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The QXP series designation indicates this blade is engineered for structural and solid stock cutting with a positive rake angle for efficient chip removal.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel tooth tips for superior hardness and heat resistance on tough alloys
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut
• Spring steel back construction resists fatigue and flexing under continuous load
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip evacuation
• 0.068 inch kerf width minimizes material loss on each pass
• Suitable for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws requiring a 138-inch blade length with a 1-1/4-inch width. Verify your machine wheel diameter and blade tracking specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified operator or machinist familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect and lock out the machine power supply before opening blade guards or accessing the wheel compartment. Confirm blade tension and tracking alignment per the saw manufacturer specification before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and coiling the blade.
