Lenox 1792732 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1792732 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade runs 12 feet 10 inches in total length and measures 1 inch wide by 0.035 inches thick, with a 5 to 8 TPI variable pitch tooth pattern that reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The tooth tips are made from M42 high-speed steel, a cobalt-bearing grade known for heat resistance and edge retention. A Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle work together to clear chips efficiently and maintain consistent feed rates. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is sold as a single welded loop ready to mount.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in job shops, maintenance facilities, and metal fabrication shops. Its variable pitch construction makes it effective across a broad range of material cross-sections without blade switching. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. Installers working in production cutting environments will find the M42 tooth grade appropriate for interrupted cuts and harder alloys that wear out standard carbon-steel blades quickly.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel tooth tips for extended life on hard and abrasive metals
• 5 to 8 TPI variable pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip clearance
• Spring steel back for fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles
• 0.055-inch kerf width minimizes material waste
• Welded loop construction — no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 12-foot 10-inch loop, 1-inch-wide blade with a 0.035-inch thickness profile. Compatible cutting materials include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify that blade guides, tension, and tracking are set according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or looped blade.
