Lenox 1792870 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792870 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. At 12 feet 6 inches long and 1 inch wide, this blade installs on horizontal and vertical band saws used in production shops and job sites. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering both flexibility and edge retention. Variable pitch at 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during cutting, resulting in a smoother cut and longer blade life. Blade thickness is 0.035 inches with a kerf width of 0.057 inches. Licensed metalworking and fabrication technicians are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series, which targets production-volume metal sawing where consistent performance and blade longevity are priorities. The variable pitch Vari-Raker tooth set handles both thin-wall and solid-section workpieces. It is intended for use in straight contour-style cuts only; contour cutting is not supported with this blade configuration.

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 surface finish
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 0.035-inch blade thickness with 0.057-inch kerf minimizes material loss per cut
• Part of the Classic Pro series, designed for high-cycle production metal-cutting environments
• Compatible material applications include stainless steel, alloy steel, tool steel, aluminum, and structural steel

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or service blade for band saws accepting a 12-foot 6-inch by 1-inch welded bandsaw blade. Confirm your machine's blade length specification, wheel diameter, and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician familiar with machine guarding and blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lockout/tagout the band saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as teeth remain sharp at all times. Verify blade tension and guide bearing alignment after installation before returning the machine to service.
