Lenox 1772363 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2 to 3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772363 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and industrial environments. At 15 feet 2 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide, this blade is sized for large vertical or horizontal band saws used by metalworking professionals and millwrights. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42+ high speed steel teeth, delivering durability and heat resistance through extended cuts. The variable pitch tooth form at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and harmonic chatter, enabling cleaner cuts across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

This blade is suited for production cutting in commercial and industrial shops handling structural steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, alloy steel, and carbon steel. The QXP series designation indicates a ground, variable-pitch, positive-rake tooth geometry designed for contour-free straight cuts on solid or structural stock. It is a direct-weld blade, meaning it arrives ready to mount without field welding. Typical users include machining shops, metal fabrication houses, and maintenance trades requiring consistent performance on difficult alloys.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long blade life
• Variable pitch tooth form at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on variable cross-section cuts
• Positive rake angle increases cutting aggression on tough alloys including titanium and stainless steel
• Ground cutting edge with single-level tooth set and 0.0700 inch kerf width for consistent material removal
• QXP series blade arrives factory-welded and ready to install
• Broad material compatibility: alloy steel, aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium

Compatibility

Designed for band saws that accept a 1-1/4 inch wide blade with a 15 feet 2 inch loop length. Verify your machine's blade length specification and wheel diameter before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade changes. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the existing blade or mounting the new one. Confirm blade tension per the machine manufacturer's specifications and verify blade tracking before resuming operation. Do not operate the saw if the blade shows any twist, kink, or improper seating on the guide bearings.
