Lenox 1772333 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772333 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional fabrication and machine shop environments. The blade measures 12 feet 5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness. It runs a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across varying stock thicknesses. The tooth material is M42-grade high speed steel — a cobalt-enriched alloy known for heat resistance and edge retention when cutting hard or abrasive metals. This blade is part of the LENOX QXP series, targeting high-productivity cutting where consistent finish and blade life are priorities.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in metal fabrication, maintenance shops, and tool rooms. Its wide material compatibility makes it practical for operators cutting a variety of stock in a single shift. Typical applications include structural cutting, tube and bar stock operations, and profile work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The single-level set geometry and positive rake angle are well-matched to production-rate cutting on powered bandsaws.

Key Features

• M42-grade high speed steel teeth with positive rake angle for aggressive, heat-resistant cutting
• Variable pitch (3 to 4 TPI) reduces vibration and improves surface finish on irregular or varying cross-sections
• Spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge for consistent tooth geometry along the full blade length
• 0.060-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible with a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium

Compatibility

Designed for use on bandsaw machines that accept a blade measuring 12 feet 5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness with a standard welded configuration. Verify machine blade length, width, and thickness tolerances before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lockout/tagout the machine before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify blade tracking, tension, and guide bearing clearance according to the saw manufacturer specifications after installation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades.
