Lenox 1792866 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792866 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. At 11 feet 11 inches long and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it fits a range of standard vertical and horizontal band saws. The tooth edge is high speed steel M42 grade with a variable pitch of 4 to 6 TPI and a Vari-Raker tooth set, which reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses. The spring steel back provides fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles. Installation and blade changes are typically performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians.

This blade is suited for production cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in machine shops, structural steel fabrication, and tool-and-die operations. The variable pitch tooth form handles interrupted cuts, bundle cutting, and mixed-profile workpieces with reduced blade chatter. It is intended for use on band saws accepting 11 feet 11 inch loop blades with a 1-inch-wide blade track. Material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Bi-metal construction bonds HSS tooth tips to a spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance
• 0.0570-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency
• Welded loop construction — no joint hardware required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for band saws accepting an 11 feet 11 inch loop, 1-inch-wide blade. Confirmed material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians following the band saw manufacturer's safety procedures. Always disconnect and lock out power to the saw before changing blades. Confirm blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing alignment before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
