Lenox 1792873 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792873 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 159 inches long and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, and runs a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern for efficient chip clearance across a range of material thicknesses. The cutting edge features a Vari-Raker tooth set with a positive rake angle and a milled, variable tooth form. At 2.43 pounds, the blade is sized for industrial vertical or horizontal bandsaws. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical fabrication shops use blades in this class for structural and alloy steel cutting tasks.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide variety of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Classic Pro series designation places it in a professional-grade product line intended for production cutting where consistent tooth geometry and weld integrity matter. It is not intended for contour cutting applications. Typical install scenarios include horizontal band saws cutting bar stock, tubing, and solid sections in mechanical and fabrication shops.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation across varying material cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, consistent cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Milled, variable tooth form improves surface finish and extends blade life compared to standard set patterns
• Kerf width of 0.057 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded blade construction eliminates mechanical fasteners and provides a consistent loop for continuous-band saw use

Compatibility

Designed as a welded continuous-loop replacement blade for industrial vertical and horizontal bandsaws accepting a 1-inch-wide blade with a 159-inch loop length.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Always confirm the blade loop length and width match the saw's wheel spacing and blade guides before installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled bandsaw blades.
