Lenox 1772372 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772372 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and shop environments. Measuring 16 feet 10 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws found in fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial facilities. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonic noise during the cut, while the M42+ high speed steel tooth material maintains edge hardness when cutting difficult alloys. Licensed tradespeople and shop machinists are the primary installers and operators.

This blade is suited for cutting 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 QXP series variable-pitch design with a Vari-Raker tooth set handles both thin-wall and solid cross-sections. It is a strong fit for production cutting environments where a single blade must transition between multiple material types without a blade change. Contour cutting is not a rated application for this blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Positive rake angle increases cutting aggression on tough materials including titanium and stainless steel
• 0.068-inch kerf width provides a clean, controlled cut with minimal material loss
• QXP series designation indicates a high-performance production-grade blade spec
• Welded construction for consistent blade tracking and long service life

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-compatible replacement or upgrade blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 16-foot 10-inch by 1-1/4-inch blade. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's tension specifications for a 1-1/4-inch blade. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the edges and teeth present a laceration hazard. Confirm blade tracking and guide alignment before resuming operation.
