Lenox 1772339 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772339 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 160 inches (13 feet 4 inches) in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern. The M42+ high speed steel tooth material delivers extended edge life when cutting hard and abrasive metals. The QXP series construction combines a spring steel back with a Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle to maximize cutting efficiency and reduce vibration. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and metalworking tradespeople install and use this blade on compatible vertical or horizontal bandsaws.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals in shop and production settings, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, making it particularly effective on thick cross-sections, bundles, and structurally irregular stock. It is a single-blade package intended for professional shop use where consistent kerf quality and blade longevity are priorities.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended life on hard metals including titanium and tool steel
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut finish
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over long run times
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient stock removal
• 0.058 inch kerf width for precise, consistent cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded construction for continuous loop fit on standard bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as a welded continuous-loop replacement blade for vertical or horizontal bandsaws that accept a 160-inch (13 feet 4 inches) by 1-inch blade. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by qualified machinists or metalworking technicians familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as edges are sharp. Confirm proper blade tension and tracking adjustment per the machine manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation.
