Lenox 1792723 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792723 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of metals in stationary band saw applications. Measuring 135 inches long and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, it runs a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern for efficient chip removal across a range of material thicknesses. The tooth body is High Speed Steel M42 grade set in a Spring Steel back, giving it the flexibility to resist blade fatigue while maintaining cutting edge hardness. A Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle reduce cutting resistance and improve cut quality on demanding materials. Licensed HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance mechanics, and metal fabricators are the typical end users.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design makes it particularly effective when cutting varying cross-sections or bundled stock where a fixed TPI would chatter or stall. It is intended for use on industrial or professional-grade stationary metal-cutting band saws with the appropriate wheel diameter and blade tension capacity for a 135-inch blade. The LENOX Classic Pro series is built for production cutting environments where blade life and consistent finish matter.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with 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 chatter on varying cross-section workpieces
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cutting efficiency
• 0.055-inch kerf width for clean, accurate cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded loop construction for continuous cutting without splices
• Compatible with a broad range of metal types including stainless, tool steel, and non-ferrous alloys

Compatibility

Designed for use on stationary metal-cutting band saws that accept a 135-inch bi-metal bandsaw blade with a 1-inch width. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Verify that the saw's wheel size and blade guide spacing are rated for a 1-inch wide, 135-inch blade before installation. Follow the saw manufacturer's recommended tension settings for bi-metal blades of this width to avoid premature blade failure.
