Lenox 1772354 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2 to 3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772354 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for industrial and shop cutting applications. It measures 13 feet 11 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 2 to 3 TPI. The blade body is constructed from spring steel, while the cutting teeth are made from M42+ high speed steel — a combination that delivers flexibility in the back and hardness at the tooth edge. A positive rake angle and ground tooth form improve cut efficiency on dense and difficult workpiece materials. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades as well as fabrication shops rely on this blade for demanding sawing tasks.

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. The variable pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during the cut, which is especially valuable when transitioning between varying cross-sections or when cutting bundles. It is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 1-inch-wide blade in this length. The single-level tooth set and 0.060-inch kerf width are consistent with production-level cutting environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch (2 to 3 TPI) reduces vibration and extends blade life on varied cross-section cuts
• Positive rake angle and ground tooth form for efficient chip removal and clean cutting action
• Compatible with a broad material range including titanium, stainless steel, and tool steel
• 0.060-inch kerf width with single-level tooth set for consistent, repeatable cuts
• LENOX QXP series design for high-performance production sawing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for bandsaw machines that accept a 1-inch-wide welded blade at 13 feet 11 inches in length. Not intended for contour cutting applications.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before operating. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as tooth edges are sharp along the full length. Inspect blade welds and tooth set for damage before mounting.
