Lenox 1792834 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792834 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 162 inches (13 feet 6 inches) long and 1 inch wide, with a 0.035-inch blade thickness and a variable-pitch tooth pattern running 3 to 4 TPI. The M42 high speed steel tooth material and positive rake angle support aggressive, efficient cuts through a wide range of metal stock. A licensed HVAC tech, machinist, pipefitter, or metal fabricator would find this blade suited to production-level cutting cycles where heat resistance and blade life matter.

This blade is designed for stationary vertical or horizontal bandsaws with a 162-inch blade capacity. It fits cutting applications involving structural metal, tubing, bar stock, plate, and similar workpieces in commercial fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance settings. The variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, making it effective on both solid sections and thin-walled profiles. The Vari-Raker tooth set promotes chip evacuation and consistent kerf control across the supported material types.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended wear life in ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch reduces blade vibration and improves surface finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip removal
• Spring steel back for fatigue resistance over extended cutting cycles
• 0.0570-inch kerf width supports precise, material-efficient cuts
• LENOX Classic Pro series construction with milled, toothed cutting edge

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare for stationary bandsaws requiring a 162-inch bi-metal blade. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing against the machine manufacturer's specifications before mounting. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or pre-welded blades. Do not exceed the bandsaw manufacturer's rated blade speed for the material being cut.
