Lenox 1792830 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792830 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal cutting in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 12 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, it fits a wide range of vertical and horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws. The blade pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth for durability under continuous cutting loads. Variable pitch at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and harmonic chatter, improving cut quality and extending blade life across varying workpiece cross-sections. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metal fabrication professionals rely on blades of this type for structural and alloy stock work.

This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. Its variable pitch geometry makes it well-suited for applications involving interrupted cuts, bundle cutting, or workpieces with varying cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would induce excessive vibration or uneven chip load.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long service life
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• 0.057-inch kerf width for efficient material removal with minimal waste
• Positive tooth rake angle promotes aggressive, consistent chip clearing
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop with no joints to fail under tension
• Compatible with a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and tool steel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 12-foot 6-inch loop, 1-inch wide blade with 0.035-inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before mounting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Do not exceed the blade tension rating of the machine, and allow a brief break-in period at reduced feed rate to seat the teeth before running at full capacity.
