Lenox 1772355 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772355 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 13 feet 11 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, it is built around a spring steel back and M42-grade high speed steel teeth. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip evacuation, making it well suited for cutting a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The QXP series designation indicates a milled, vari-raker tooth set with a positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient cutting. Metalworking shops, maintenance technicians, and fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is designed for vertical or horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 13 feet 11 inch welded loop blade with a 1-inch width. It handles a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch and vari-raker tooth form make it particularly effective when cutting solids, bundles, or structurals where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or load. It is not designed for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• M42-grade high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive materials
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish on diverse stock sizes
• Vari-raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance and reduces blade fatigue
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking during continuous cutting cycles
• 0.058-inch kerf width for efficient material removal with minimal waste
• Welded loop construction for direct drop-in replacement on compatible bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for machines accepting a 13 feet 11 inch loop, 1 inch wide, 0.035 inch thick blade.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or maintenance professional. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended blade tension settings for a 1-inch bi-metal blade. Confirm blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tracking are properly adjusted before resuming cuts to avoid premature blade fatigue or breakage.
