Lenox 1772331 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772331 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 11 feet 9 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade features a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern designed to reduce vibration and improve cut quality across a wide range of stock sizes. The tooth material is M42-grade high-speed steel, and the back is spring steel, providing the flexibility and fatigue resistance required for continuous bandsawing. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle contribute to efficient chip evacuation and consistent feed rates. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, and fabricators who run vertical or horizontal band saws will recognize this as a production-grade blade built for high-cycle use.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. It is appropriate for both production shop environments and maintenance facilities where operators need a single blade that transitions across multiple material types without a blade change. The variable pitch reduces harmonic chatter on thin-wall tubing and solid bar stock alike, making it a practical choice for shops cutting mixed material runs.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-grade high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard materials
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cutting
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance across varied stock profiles
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression on dense alloys and stainless steel
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance for continuous-use applications
• 0.058-inch kerf width for efficient material removal with minimal waste

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded blade for bandsaw machines that accept a 1-inch-wide blade with an 11-foot 9-inch loop length. Verify your machine's wheel diameter and blade specification chart before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified operator following the bandsaw manufacturer's service guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Confirm correct blade tracking and tension before resuming cutting operations, and inspect blade welds and tooth condition at regular service intervals.
