Lenox 1773901 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1773901 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and industrial environments. The blade measures 147 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel with a Vari-Set tooth set and a positive rake angle, designed to maintain aggressive cutting performance across a wide range of metal stock. Licensed HVAC fabricators, plumbers, pipefitters, metalworkers, and machinists install this blade on vertical or horizontal band saws for contour and straight-cut metal cutting.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, nickel alloy, titanium, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel. It fits the LENOX Contestor GT series and is appropriate for production shops, maintenance facilities, and metal fabrication operations that require consistent cuts across varied material types and cross-sections. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonics and vibration during the cut, making it effective on both thin-wall and solid stock.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on tough metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch (Vari-Set) reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cutting
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge style for consistent kerf quality
• Spring steel back for fatigue resistance under continuous band saw tension
• Kerf width of 0.0680 inches for predictable material loss per cut
• Compatible with a broad material application range including stainless steel, titanium, and nickel alloy

Compatibility

Designed for use in the LENOX Contestor GT series. Suitable for vertical and horizontal band saws accepting a 1-1/4 inch wide blade at 147 inches in length. Verify blade guides, tension settings, and wheel diameter specifications on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or machinist familiar with band saw setup procedures. Power down and lockout the saw before changing blades, and relieve all blade tension before removal. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Consult the saw manufacturer specifications for correct blade tension, tracking adjustment, and guide bearing clearance before resuming cuts.
