Lenox 1772388 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3 to 4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772388 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 21 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches wide with a 0.05 inch thickness, this blade is built around a spring steel back with M42+ high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch design runs at 3 to 4 TPI, reducing vibration and improving chip evacuation across a wide range of material cross-sections. Ground, toothed cutting edges with a positive rake angle and single level tooth set deliver consistent cut quality. Licensed metalworkers and fabrication shops are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for contour and straight cuts on a broad spectrum of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. Its variable pitch and M42+ tooth material make it a practical choice for production cutting where material types and section sizes change frequently. Typical applications include structural fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance facilities running horizontal or vertical bandsaw equipment that accepts a 21 foot 6 inch loop blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch at 3 to 4 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut finish on varying cross-sections
• Ground, single level tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, accurate metal removal
• 0.0820 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and multiple other ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• QXP series blade design intended for high-production bandsaw use

Compatibility

Designed to fit bandsaw machines that accept a welded loop blade measuring 21 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width. Verify drive wheel spacing, blade guide clearance, and tensioning capacity on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before handling or changing the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or mounting the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. Confirm blade tension, tracking alignment, and guide bearing contact before resuming cutting operations.
