Lenox 1792713 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792713 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications on horizontal and vertical bandsaws. Measuring 9 feet 11-1/2 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, it delivers a kerf width of 0.055 inches. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 5 to 8 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration during cuts and extending blade life across a range of workpiece cross-sections. The cutting teeth are M42 high speed steel with a positive rake angle and Vari-Raker tooth set, bonded to a spring steel back. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is installed by maintenance machinists, fabricators, and metalworking shop technicians.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop cutting of a wide range of metal stock including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern is particularly effective when cutting interrupted cuts, mixed cross-sections, or bundled stock where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or wear unevenly. It is not intended for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish across varying stock thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set provides consistent chip clearance and extended edge life
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Welded blade supplied as a ready-to-install loop at 9 feet 11-1/2 inches
• Classic Pro series construction suited for high-cycle production cutting environments

Compatibility

Designed to fit horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a 9 feet 11-1/2 inch blade loop, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before mounting or removing any blade. Confirm proper blade tracking and tension according to the machine manufacturer guidelines before powering on. Inspect blade guides, blade guard, and wheel condition at each blade change to avoid premature wear or blade failure.
