Lenox 1772358 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3 to 4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1772358 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting on stationary vertical and horizontal bandsaws. At 174 inches (14 feet 6 inches) in length and 1-1/2 inches wide, this blade runs a variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch using M42+ high speed steel teeth on a spring steel back. The QXP series ground tooth geometry and positive rake angle are engineered for aggressive material removal with reduced vibration and heat buildup. At 0.5 pounds, it is a direct drop-in for compatible machines without additional prep. Licensed metalworking technicians and fabricators are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals on industrial and commercial bandsaws. Confirmed material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration when transitioning between thin-wall and solid stock, making it a reliable choice for job shops and production environments handling mixed material workflows. A single level tooth set delivers consistent kerf and dimensional accuracy across material types.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality on mixed stock
• Ground tooth form with positive rake angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• 0.0820 inch kerf width for controlled material removal
• QXP series designation for demanding production and fabrication applications

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for stationary bandsaws accepting a 174-inch (14 feet 6 inches) loop, 1-1/2 inches wide, with a 0.05-inch blade thickness. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension rating on your specific machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement is typically performed by a qualified metalworking technician or maintenance professional. Disconnect and lock out all power to the machine before removing the existing blade or handling the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling and mounting the blade, as the spring steel back stores tension and can snap open suddenly. Confirm blade tension, tracking, and guide alignment per the machine manufacturer specifications before returning the saw to service.
