Lenox 1792867 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 1 in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792867 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 12 feet in length and 1 inch wide, it carries a 4 to 6 TPI variable pitch tooth pattern that reduces vibration and improves cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The blade body is constructed from spring steel with M42 high speed steel teeth set in a Vari-Raker configuration, delivering edge retention on tough materials. At 0.035 inches thick with a kerf width of 0.057 inches, it is suited for production bandsaw use where consistent, straight cuts are required. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is part of the Classic Pro series and is designed for contour-free, straight cutting operations on a wide range of metals. Suitable applications include cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is commonly used in job shops, fabrication facilities, and MRO operations where a reliable, general-purpose metal-cutting bandsaw blade is needed for production or maintenance work.

Key Features

• 12-foot welded loop — ready to mount on compatible bandsaw machines without additional joining
• 4 to 6 TPI variable pitch reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish
• M42 high speed steel teeth provide extended edge life on hard and abrasive metals
• Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote aggressive, efficient chip clearance
• Spring steel back maintains blade tension and resists fatigue under continuous cycling
• 0.035-inch blade thickness and 0.057-inch kerf minimize material waste per cut

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 1-inch-wide, 12-foot blade loop. Confirmed compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the machine wheel diameter and blade guide spacing are rated for a 1-inch-wide blade before mounting. Allow a short break-in period at reduced feed pressure on initial cuts to seat the tooth set and extend blade life. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade.
