Lenox 1792836 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3 to 4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792836 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and industrial service environments. The blade measures 14 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering edge retention and resistance to tooth stripout under heavy load. Licensed machinists, metal fabricators, and industrial maintenance techs are the primary installers of this blade type.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials on vertical or horizontal band saws in production and job-shop settings. Supported material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce harmonics and vibration when transitioning between varying cross-sections or wall thicknesses, making it a practical choice for mixed-stock cutting runs.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long service life under interrupted cuts
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes vibration and noise across varying material profiles
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip clearing and faster cut rates in metals
• 0.057-inch kerf width balances material removal with blade stability
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style handles a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock
• LENOX Classic Pro series construction for consistent weld integrity at the blade joint

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement blade for band saws accepting a 14-foot 6-inch loop, 1-inch wide blade in industrial and fabrication shop applications. Confirm your saw's wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw setup procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or threading the new one through the blade guides. Verify blade tension per the saw manufacturer's specification using the machine's built-in tension indicator before resuming cuts. Inspect weld integrity and blade tracking on a slow initial pass before cutting production stock.
