Lenox 1792843 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792843 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and shop environments. It measures 9 feet 11.5 inches in overall length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern ranging from 4 to 6 TPI. The blade body is made from spring steel with M42 high-speed steel teeth, a vari-raker tooth set, and a positive rake angle. This combination delivers aggressive cutting action with reduced vibration across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is installed by machinists, fabricators, and metal-cutting technicians.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop band saw cutting of solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form minimizes harmonic vibration during cuts, making it effective on both interrupted cuts and solid cross-sections. It is not rated for contour cutting and is intended for straight, through-cuts on horizontal or vertical metal-cutting band saws sized to accept a 1-inch-wide blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch (4 to 6 TPI) with vari-raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip clearance
• Positive rake angle promotes faster, more aggressive material removal
• Kerf width of 0.057 inches minimizes material waste per cut
• Welded blade loop — no additional joining required before installation
• Cuts alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws that accept a 1-inch-wide blade with an overall loop length of 9 feet 11.5 inches. Verify your saw's wheel diameter and blade capacity against these dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator. Power down and lock out the band saw before changing blades, following applicable LOTO procedures. Confirm blade tension and tracking alignment per the saw manufacturer's specifications after mounting. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard during coiling and uncoiling.
