Lenox 1792737 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792737 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous-loop installation on metal-cutting vertical or horizontal band saws. At 162 inches (13 feet 6 inches) long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade is built for production and maintenance cutting across a broad range of metals. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42 high-speed steel teeth, delivering heat resistance and edge retention under sustained cutting loads. The variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces harmonic vibration and chip packing, making it well-suited for interrupted cuts and varying cross-sections.

This blade is used in industrial and commercial metalworking environments where a single blade must handle diverse stock profiles and material types. Typical applications include structural fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance operations cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Classic Pro series targets professional trades requiring consistent performance across mixed-material cutting schedules without frequent blade changes.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and extends blade life
• 0.055 inch kerf width supports clean, efficient cuts with minimal material loss
• Positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and cutting speed on metal stock
• Toothed, milled, variable cutting edge style suits contour and straight cuts across multiple material grades
• Welded construction for direct drop-in installation on compatible band saw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade welded bandsaw blade for band saw machines accepting a 162-inch blade length with a 1-inch wide by 0.035-inch thick profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one, following OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Set blade tension and tracking according to the machine manufacturer specifications before running the saw.
