Lenox 1792864 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792864 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and field environments. The blade measures 138 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 4 to 6 TPI. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering heat resistance and edge retention across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle reduce vibration and improve chip clearance during the cut. This is a Classic Pro series blade, sold as a single welded loop ready for immediate installation on compatible horizontal or vertical bandsaws.

This blade is suited for professional metal-cutting operations in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial service environments. Its variable pitch design handles structural steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The 4 to 6 TPI range makes it effective on medium to heavy cross-sections where a single-pitch blade would chatter or load up. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and tool room technicians are the typical installers. Contour cutting is not a rated application for this blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible spring steel back for durability and fatigue resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes vibration and improves cut finish
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive feed rates on structural and alloy steels
• Milled, toothed cutting edge with 0.057-inch kerf width for consistent, repeatable cuts
• Classic Pro series designation indicates OEM-grade dimensional tolerances and weld quality
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for use on bandsaw machines that accept a 138-inch blade loop, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tensioning capacity against your saw's specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw completely before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications before running under load. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, as the teeth present a laceration hazard even when the machine is off.
