Lenox 1772380 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3 to 4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772380 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional fabrication and maintenance environments. Measuring 19 feet 8 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches wide, it runs on horizontal and vertical band saws common in job shops and industrial facilities. The blade features a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI with a ground, toothed cutting edge and a positive rake angle that drives efficient chip removal. The tooth tips are High Speed Steel M42+ grade, bonded to a spring steel back for resilience under continuous cutting load. Licensed metalworking professionals and fabricators install and operate this blade.

The 1772380 is suited for straight and contour-free metal cutting across a wide range of materials including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which is particularly useful when transitioning between material cross-sections or when cutting structurals and solids in the same session. It is intended for power bandsaw use in commercial shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where consistent cut quality and blade longevity are priorities.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ High Speed Steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut finish across varying material cross-sections
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation for faster metal removal
• Ground cutting edge delivers consistent tooth geometry for repeatable cut quality
• Single level tooth set with 0.0820-inch kerf width minimizes material waste
• QXP series blade rated for a broad material range including titanium, stainless, and tool steels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for horizontal and vertical power band saws requiring a 19-foot 8-inch loop length and 1-1/2-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing match the blade width and length before mounting. Tension the blade to the saw manufacturer's specification for the blade width and allow a brief break-in period at reduced feed pressure on the first few cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade.
