Lenox 1792832 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792832 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting of a wide range of metals in industrial and fabrication environments. At 158 inches long and 1 inch wide, with a 0.035-inch blade thickness and a variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch, this blade handles both thick structural sections and thinner profiles without blade changes. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips bonded to a spring steel back deliver extended edge life under demanding cutting loads. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and pipefitting professionals, as well as metal fabricators, rely on blades of this class for cutting pipe, structural steel, and tubing on vertical or horizontal bandsaws.

The 1792832 is suited for production and job-site cutting of alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, which is especially useful when transitioning between varying cross-sections or when cutting bundled stock. The Classic Pro series positions this blade in a mid-to-heavy-duty service range appropriate for commercial fabrication shops and mechanical contractors running continuous bandsaw operations.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long edge life
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip clearance
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting across multiple metal types
• 0.057-inch kerf width provides clean, controlled cuts with minimal material loss
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style supports contour and straight cutting applications
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for vertical or horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 158-inch loop length, 1-inch blade width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals as stated in the manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade length compatibility with your saw model before mounting. Use appropriate blade guides and tension settings per the saw manufacturer specifications — improper tension is a leading cause of premature blade fatigue and breakage. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade.
