Lenox 1772340 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772340 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of a wide range of metals on stationary band saw machines. The blade measures 160 inches (13 feet 4 inches) long and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a variable pitch of 3 to 4 teeth per inch. The tooth tips are M42+ high speed steel, which provides extended edge life when cutting hard or abrasive materials. A positive rake angle and ground tooth form help deliver a clean, aggressive cut. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with metal cutting band saws in shop or industrial environments.

The 1772340 is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design reduces vibration and harmonic chatter across a range of material thicknesses, making it a practical choice for production cutting as well as intermittent job-shop use. The single-level tooth set and 0.0700-inch kerf width are calibrated for straight, consistent cuts with minimal material waste.

Key Features

• Blade length: 160 inches (13 feet 4 inches) welded loop
• Variable pitch: 3 to 4 TPI with positive rake angle for aggressive metal removal
• M42+ high speed steel tooth tips for extended wear life on hard alloys
• Spring steel back for fatigue resistance under continuous band saw flex
• Ground tooth form with single-level set for consistent kerf and straight tracking
• Rated for a broad material application including titanium, stainless steel, and mold steel

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or consumable welded bandsaw blade for stationary metal-cutting band saws that accept a 160-inch loop blade with 1-1/4-inch width. Verify your machine's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Metal cutting bandsaw blades should be installed by a qualified machinist or shop technician. Power down and lock out the band saw at the main disconnect before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Confirm correct blade tension and wheel tracking per the machine manufacturer's guidelines before resuming operation.
