Lenox 1772353 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772353 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 162 inches long and 1-1/2 inches wide with a 0.05-inch body thickness and a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern. The cutting edge features a vari-raker tooth set with a positive rake angle, produced from M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back. This combination resists heat buildup and tooth stripout when cutting interrupted cuts, hard alloys, and varying cross-sections. Licensed metalworking technicians and fabrication machinists are the typical installers.

This blade is designed for vertical or horizontal bandsaws used in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production cutting environments. The variable pitch pattern reduces vibration and noise across a range of material thicknesses, making it suitable for production runs and cut-to-length work on solid bar, structural shapes, and tubing. The blade is not intended for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration during cutting
• M42+ high speed steel teeth provide extended cutting life on hard alloys
• Vari-raker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flex cracking during continuous operation
• 0.08-inch kerf width delivers consistent, repeatable cuts
• Compatible material range includes alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded blade for bandsaws accepting a 162-inch loop length with a 1-1/2-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Verify proper blade tension and wheel tracking before resuming cutting operations, and confirm wheel and guide compatibility with 1-1/2-inch blade width before installation.
