Measuring 198 inches long and 1-1\/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch body thickness, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical band saws sized to accept that loop length. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, combining edge hardness with body flexibility. Variable pitch tooth geometry in the 2 to 3 TPI range reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts, extending blade life and improving surface finish on a wide range of metal cross-sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for production and job-shop cutting of alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The QXP series designation indicates a ground, variable-pitch, positive-rake tooth form designed specifically for structural shapes, solid rounds, tubing, and bundled stock where consistent feed rates and long blade life are priorities. It is typically installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics operating industrial band saws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 grade bi-metal construction — high speed steel teeth on a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable 2 to 3 TPI pitch reduces vibration and extends blade life on varied cross-sections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround, positive-rake tooth form improves cut quality and chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-level tooth set with a 0.0700-inch kerf width for controlled material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQXP series blade rated for a broad material application range including titanium and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded loop construction — ready to install without field joining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for band saws that accept a 198-inch blade loop with a 1-1\/4-inch blade width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and maximum blade width specification before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the band saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout\/tagout procedures. Confirm proper blade tension using the machine manufacturer's tension gauge or deflection specification before powering on. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be adjusted to the correct clearance for a 1-1\/4-inch wide blade. Allow a brief break-in period at reduced feed pressure on the first several cuts to seat the tooth set and extend blade service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198 inches (16 feet 6 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 to 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePitch Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: Variable (Ground)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Level Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKerf Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0700 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ground, Toothed, Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: QXP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Non-Ferrous Metal, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Tool Steel, Mold Steel, Bearing Steel, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: LENOX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1772370\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LENOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541593588018,"sku":"1772370","price":159.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f491b787c2be91677b0eb46cf7b61a06_da9ce7c9-e108-4869-a405-6e8a0f3f0d5b.jpg?v=1785880176","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/lenox-1772370-welded-bandsaw-blade-2-3-tpi-bi-metal","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
