Lenox 1792716 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792716 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. It measures 10 feet 6 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 5 to 8 teeth per inch (TPI). The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering both flexibility and cutting edge durability. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle work together to reduce vibration and improve chip clearance across a wide range of material thicknesses. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is suited for machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians running horizontal or vertical bandsaws.

This blade is designed for cutting a broad range of metals, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form makes it especially effective when cutting materials of varying cross-section or when a single blade must handle multiple stock profiles in a production or job-shop setting. The toothed, milled cutting edge style produces consistent, clean cuts with minimal burr. Blade length of 10 feet 6 inches fits a range of mid-size industrial and contractor-grade bandsaw machines.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long service life and flexibility
• Variable pitch (5 to 8 TPI) with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varied stock sizes
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal on metals
• Toothed and milled cutting edge style for consistent kerf and surface finish
• 0.055-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible with a wide material range including stainless, tool steel, aluminum, and bearing steel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use welded blade for mid-size bandsaw machines that accept a 10-foot 6-inch by 1-inch blade. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the machine fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the blade length, width, and thickness match the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before installation. Proper blade tension and wheel tracking must be set according to the machine manufacturer's guidelines to prevent premature blade fatigue or breakage. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or welded bandsaw blades.
