Lenox 1772357 Welded Bandsaw Blade 14 Ft 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772357 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. Spanning 14 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade features a variable-pitch tooth form at 4 to 6 TPI that reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cuts. The M42+ high speed steel tooth material delivers extended edge life when cutting hard and abrasive metals. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metal fabricators install this blade on floor-standing vertical or horizontal bandsaws requiring 14-foot blade stock.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop cutting across a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle work together to promote efficient chip evacuation and consistent cut quality across varying cross-sections. It is well-suited for solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing where material hardness and section thickness can vary within a single cut.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard alloys and stainless steel
• Variable pitch 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on irregular or varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces blade loading
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression on dense metals including titanium and tool steel
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance and flexibility through the blade guides
• Pre-welded construction eliminates field joining and ensures consistent weld integrity

Compatibility

Designed for use on vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 14-foot bi-metal blade with a 1-1/4-inch width. Confirm your saw's blade capacity and wheel diameter specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before changing blades. Verify blade tension and guide bearing alignment according to the saw manufacturer's specifications after seating the blade on the wheels. Eye protection and cut-resistant gloves are recommended when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
