Lenox 1772383 Welded Bandsaw Blade 21 Ft 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772383 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional fabrication and machining environments. Measuring 21 feet in length and 1-1/2 inches wide, it runs a variable pitch tooth pattern at 2 to 3 TPI, which distributes cutting forces across the workpiece to reduce vibration and extend blade life. The tooth body is ground bi-metal construction with an M42-plus high speed steel tooth material and a positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient stock removal. A spring steel back provides the flex and fatigue resistance required for continuous production sawing.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical band saws used in metal-cutting shops, maintenance facilities, and structural steel operations. The variable pitch design makes it effective across a wide range of cross-sections and wall thicknesses without changing blades. Material compatibility includes alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium, covering the majority of stock materials encountered in production and job-shop settings.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high speed steel teeth for extended service life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch tooth form at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and chatter during the cut
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal and faster feed rates
• Single level tooth set with a 0.082-inch kerf width for a clean, consistent cut path
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flex cracking under continuous band saw operation
• Ground cutting edge delivers consistent tooth geometry across the full blade length

Compatibility

Designed for metal-cutting band saws that accept a 21-foot welded loop blade 1-1/2 inches wide. Verify your saw's wheel diameter and blade guide specifications before installation to confirm this blade length and width are within machine tolerances.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the saw at the disconnect before opening blade guards or removing the existing blade. Blade tracking and tension must be set according to the saw manufacturer's specifications after installing a new blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and threading.
