Lenox 1792826 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792826 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 11 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, this blade features a variable 3 to 4 TPI tooth pattern that balances aggressive stock removal with a controlled cut. The high-speed steel teeth are bonded to a spring steel back, combining edge hardness with backbone flexibility. Built to M42 material grade specifications, it is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is suited for professional metalworking shops and fabrication environments where blade life and cut quality are priorities.

This blade is designed for bandsaw machines accepting an 11-foot 6-inch welded loop. The variable pitch tooth geometry reduces vibration and noise during the cut, making it effective across a wide range of metal stock profiles including solid bar, tube, and structural sections. The Vari-Raker tooth set assists with efficient chip clearance. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals, covering most material types encountered in production and job-shop settings.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish across varied cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent cutting performance
• Positive rake angle for aggressive, controlled cutting action in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Kerf width of 0.057 inches provides predictable material loss for close-tolerance work
• Welded loop construction eliminates the need for on-site brazing or field joining

Compatibility

Designed to fit bandsaws configured for an 11-foot 6-inch welded blade loop with a 1-inch blade 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

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician following the saw manufacturer's specifications. Disconnect and lock out the machine from its power source before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Verify wheel tracking and blade tension before making the first cut, and allow a short break-in period at reduced feed pressure to seat the new teeth.
