Lenox 1772416 Welded Bandsaw Blade 25 Ft 2 in Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1772416 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting of a wide range of metals. At 25 feet long and 2 inches wide with a 0.063-inch thickness, this blade is sized for large industrial bandsaws used in production and fabrication environments. The variable pitch tooth form runs at 1.5 to 2 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and providing a smoother cut across varying material cross-sections. The M42+ high speed steel tooth material delivers elevated heat and wear resistance during demanding cuts through tough alloys and exotic metals.

This blade is suited for metal-cutting bandsaws in industrial fabrication shops, tool and die operations, and maintenance facilities. The QXP series designation indicates a high-performance blade intended for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The single level tooth set and positive rake angle are optimized for production-rate cutting where blade life and cut quality both matter. Licensed millwrights, machinists, and fabricators working with horizontal or vertical metal-cutting bandsaws are the typical end users.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch tooth form at 1.5 to 2 TPI reduces vibration and extends blade life on irregular or varying cross-sections
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient stock removal on metals including titanium and stainless steel
• Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge style for consistent kerf width of 0.099 inches
• Single level tooth set for uniform chip clearance and predictable cut tracking
• QXP series blade rated for alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and titanium

Compatibility

Designed for industrial metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 25-foot, 2-inch-wide welded blade. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or millwright with the bandsaw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the blade guides, wheel diameter, and tension capacity of the saw are rated for a 2-inch-wide blade before mounting. Allow the blade to run-in at reduced feed pressure for the first few cuts to seat the tooth set. Do not force the blade into a cut or exceed the saw manufacturer's rated capacity for the material being processed.
