Lenox 1792749 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792749 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 15 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade features a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern that reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The M42 high-speed steel teeth are bonded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with fatigue resistance. It is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians on horizontal and vertical band saws sized to accept this blade length.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form and Vari-Raker tooth set make it a strong choice for cutting solid bar stock, structural sections, and bundled material where consistent chip clearing and vibration damping are priorities. It is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series, which targets production and job-shop band saw applications requiring reliable, repeatable cuts on tough materials.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: 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 extends blade life across varied stock sizes
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 0.055-inch kerf width provides clean, consistent cuts with minimal material loss
• Welded construction ensures a uniform joint for continuous band saw operation

Compatibility

Designed for band saws configured to accept a 15-foot 6-inch blade loop, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel as specified by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the band saw powered off and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm wheel diameter and blade guide spacing match the blade width and thickness before tensioning. Use appropriate blade tension settings for bi-metal blades as specified by the saw manufacturer. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and coiling the blade.
