Lenox 1792735 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792735 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of metals in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 159 inches long and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade fits standard metal-cutting vertical bandsaws found in machine shops and fabrication facilities. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material and variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern allow it to handle a wide range of material thicknesses and cross-sections. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through extended cuts. Licensed metalworkers and machinists are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, mold steel, and bearing steel. The variable pitch tooth form reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, making it effective on both solid bar stock and structural shapes. It is a non-contour cutting blade intended for straight cuts. The LENOX Classic Pro series targets production and job-shop environments where consistent performance across mixed material types is required.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on tough alloys and stainless steel
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves chip clearance across varying material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, consistent stock removal
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and resistance to blade fatigue during long-run cuts
• 0.055-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction for use on continuous-loop bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-compatible replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting vertical bandsaws that accept a 159-inch blade loop, 1 inch wide, 0.035 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the saw fully powered down and the blade guard removed per the machine manufacturer's instructions. Verify blade tension and tracking adjustment after installation before making a cut. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or loose bandsaw blades. Inspect the blade guides and thrust bearings for wear before mounting a new blade.
