Lenox 1772379 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772379 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for metal-cutting applications on vertical and horizontal band saws. Stretching 19 feet 8 inches in length with a 1-1/4 inch width and 0.042 inch thickness, this blade accommodates mid-to-large-frame production saws. The variable pitch tooth pattern runs at 4 to 6 TPI, which helps reduce harmonics and vibration during cuts through a range of stock profiles. Tooth material is M42 high speed steel with a raker tooth set and positive rake angle, delivering aggressive chip clearance in structural steel, tubing, and solid bar stock. Metal fabricators and maintenance machinists are the typical end users.

This blade suits production and job-shop environments where consistent metal cutting is required on contour or straight-cut band saw applications. The variable pitch design performs well across varying cross-sections, including structural shapes, pipe, and solid rounds. Contour cutting capability is confirmed by the manufacturer. The 19-foot-8-inch welded loop length fits band saws that accept blades in this size class. A raker tooth set provides balanced chip flow and is well suited to ferrous and non-ferrous metals of moderate to heavy wall thickness.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life
• Variable pitch at 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and extends blade life across mixed stock profiles
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient material removal
• Raker tooth set provides reliable chip clearance in ferrous and structural metals
• Welded loop design at 19 feet 8 inches fits mid-to-large production band saws
• Contour cutting capable for curved and irregular profile work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for vertical and horizontal metal-cutting band saws that accept a 19-foot-8-inch welded blade with a 1-1/4 inch width.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or machinist. Disconnect and lock out the saw from its power source before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify correct blade tension and wheel tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or looped bandsaw blades, as edge exposure during installation presents a laceration hazard.
