Lenox 1772336 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772336 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal cutting applications on vertical and horizontal bandsaws. It measures 154 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI. The tooth material is M42+ high speed steel — a cobalt-enhanced grade that resists heat and maintains edge life when cutting hard alloys. The QXP series ground tooth geometry and positive rake angle promote efficient chip removal and smooth feed rates. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors, as well as fabrication shops, rely on blades like this for clean, accurate cuts through structural and specialty metals.

This blade is suited for production and maintenance cutting environments where material variety is high. The variable pitch design reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during the cut, which matters when transitioning between thin-walled and solid stock. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The single-level tooth set and 0.0700-inch kerf width provide predictable, repeatable cuts with minimal material waste. It is a practical choice for fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and maintenance facilities running metal-cutting bandsaws.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended edge life on hard and abrasive alloys
• Variable pitch (3 to 4 TPI) reduces vibration and noise during the cut
• Ground, positive-rake tooth form improves cut quality and chip evacuation
• Spring steel back for flex resistance and fatigue life under continuous cycling
• Single-level tooth set with 0.0700-inch kerf for consistent, repeatable cuts
• Broad material compatibility including stainless steel, titanium, and mold steel

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for bandsaws accepting a 154-inch by 1-1/4-inch blade in bi-metal variable-pitch configurations. Verify your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or fitting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade — the teeth and welded joint present laceration hazards. Follow the saw manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications; improper tension can cause blade drift, premature weld fatigue, or blade breakage.
