Lenox 1772335 Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 7 in 1 in 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772335 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 12 feet 7 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade runs on standard vertical or horizontal band saws used by metalworking shops, maintenance technicians, and fabricators. The variable-pitch tooth form spans 5 to 8 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The M42-plus high speed steel tooth tips are backed by a spring steel body, delivering extended tooth life and resistance to fatigue under continuous cutting loads. This is an OEM-specification replacement or upgrade blade for professional shop use.

The 1772335 is suited for cutting a broad spectrum of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The QXP series designation indicates a high-performance blade line intended for production cutting where blade life and cut straightness are priorities. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle work together to clear chips efficiently and reduce heat buildup during long cuts. This blade is a practical choice for job shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments cutting structural and specialty metals regularly.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and noise while improving surface finish on varied stock thicknesses
• M42-plus high speed steel teeth provide superior wear resistance for cutting hardened and exotic metals including titanium and stainless
• Spring steel back material resists fatigue and flexing during continuous band saw operation
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and cooler cutting
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss on each cut
• Welded construction delivers a consistent, factory-finished joint for smooth tracking on saw wheels

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or upgrade bandsaw blade for vertical and horizontal band saws accepting a 12 feet 7 inch blade length, 1 inch width, and 0.035 inch thickness. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension rating on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw operation. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, and confirm proper blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts. Do not exceed the maximum blade speed rating of the host machine.
