Lenox 1772337 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2 to 3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772337 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and production environments. Measuring 13 feet 4 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42-grade high speed steel teeth. The variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and helps manage chip load across a range of material thicknesses. Ground, toothed cutting edges deliver consistent kerf control at 0.0600 inches. The QXP series designation indicates an advanced tooth geometry suited for high-output sawing. Installation is handled by metalworking mechanics and maintenance technicians running horizontal or vertical band saws.

This blade is designed for contour-free straight cutting across a broad material spectrum including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The positive rake angle and single level tooth set support aggressive feed rates while maintaining cut quality on both thin-walled and solid stock. It is well suited for production environments where blade life and cut consistency across mixed material runs are priorities.

Key Features

• M42-grade high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance through repeated flexing on the bandsaw wheel
• Ground cutting edges deliver precise kerf width of 0.0600 inches
• Positive rake angle supports efficient cutting on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• QXP series geometry rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, and mold steel applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical band saw machines accepting a 1-inch-wide blade at 13 feet 4 inches in loop length. Verify wheel-to-wheel center distance and blade guide specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified metalworking technicians with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm blade tension, wheel alignment, and guide bearing clearance before powering on. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Allow new blades to run in at reduced feed rates for the first several cuts to seat the tooth set before advancing to full production feed.
