Lenox 1772338 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772338 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and industrial environments. It measures 13 feet 4 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable-pitch tooth form rated at 3 to 4 TPI. The blade body is constructed from spring steel, while the teeth are tipped with M42-grade high speed steel for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive materials. A ground, single-level tooth set delivers consistent kerf width and smooth cut surfaces across a wide range of workpiece materials. This blade is part of the LENOX QXP series and is intended for installation and use by experienced metalworking professionals and tool room technicians.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws in production and maintenance environments. The variable pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, making it effective on structural shapes, solid bar stock, and tubing. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. It is a single-blade package intended for direct installation on compatible bandsaw machines.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-grade high speed steel teeth for extended edge life on hard metals
• Variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varied cross-sections
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles
• Ground tooth geometry with positive rake angle promotes efficient chip clearance and smooth finish
• 0.0600-inch kerf width delivers consistent, repeatable cuts with minimal material loss
• QXP series designation indicates enhanced tooth geometry for demanding alloy and stainless applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for professional metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 1-inch wide blade at 13 feet 4 inches loop length. Confirmed compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or maintenance professional. Power down and lockout the bandsaw machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing on the machine match the blade width and thickness before tensioning. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer's specified blade tension procedure and confirm blade tracking before resuming cutting operations.
