Lenox 1792721 Welded Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft 1 in 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1792721 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for production cutting of metals in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 11 feet in length and 1 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch body thickness and a variable pitch of 5 to 8 teeth per inch (TPI). The cutting edge combines milled, toothed geometry with a vari-raker tooth set, which distributes cutting load across the blade and reduces vibration during the cut. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips deliver hardness and heat resistance when cutting tough alloys. This blade is intended for use by metalworking professionals, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics operating horizontal or vertical band saws.

The 1792721 is suited for cutting a wide range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design handles both thin-walled sections and solid stock with reduced harmonics and smoother surface finish. It is appropriate for job shop, production, and maintenance applications where a single blade must adapt to varied workpiece sizes and material types. The spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking over extended run time.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel tooth tips for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and harmonics across varied stock sizes
• Vari-raker tooth set distributes chip load evenly and helps prevent tooth strippage
• Spring steel back resists fatigue cracking and flexes through continuous bandsaw operation
• Milled, toothed cutting edge delivers consistent kerf width of 0.055 inches
• Classic Pro series design balances cut rate and blade longevity across multiple material types

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement blade for band saw machines accepting an 11-foot blade length with a 1-inch blade width. Confirm wheel spacing, blade guides, and drive wheel crown profile on the specific saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or maintenance mechanic. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade, as worn components accelerate blade fatigue. Allow the blade to run under light load for several minutes after tensioning to seat the blade properly before making production cuts.
