Lenox 1772352 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2 to 3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772352 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and industrial environments. At 162 inches (13 feet 6 inches) long and 1-1/2 inches wide, it fits vertical and horizontal bandsaws requiring a blade of that loop length. The blade runs a variable pitch of 2 to 3 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip clearance when cutting through varying cross-sections. The M42+ high speed steel tooth material and ground tooth form deliver consistent edge life on hard and abrasive workpiece materials. Licensed tradespeople and machinist-level technicians are the primary installers of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. It performs in both production sawing and job shop environments where material variety demands a versatile tooth geometry. The QXP series designation indicates a ground, variable-pitch profile engineered for reduced blade noise and extended service intervals on difficult cuts. It is not designed for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying stock sizes
• M42+ high speed steel teeth provide extended edge life on hard and abrasive metals including titanium and stainless steel
• Ground tooth form delivers a consistent, accurate kerf of 0.0820 inches
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking during extended cutting cycles
• Single level set tooth configuration promotes straight, controlled cuts
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression on dense ferrous and non-ferrous materials

Compatibility

Designed for vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines requiring a 162-inch (13 feet 6 inches) blade loop with a 1-1/2-inch blade width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter and blade guide clearance before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or threading the new one through the guides and blade guards. Verify blade tension according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specification for the blade width being used. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before running the new blade.
