Lenox 1792880 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792880 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 173 inches long and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade features a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch and a Vari-Raker tooth set that reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses. The high-speed steel M42 tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with fatigue resistance. Licensed HVAC techs, metalworkers, pipefitters, and fabrication shops install this blade on vertical and horizontal bandsaws for structural and alloy metal work.

This blade is suited for production and maintenance cutting in commercial fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and industrial facilities. The variable pitch design helps manage harmonics when cutting through inconsistent cross-sections or bundled stock. It handles a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The LENOX Classic Pro series targets professionals who require consistent cut rates and blade life on high-cycle cutting equipment.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• 0.057-inch kerf width provides a clean, efficient cut with minimal material loss
• Positive rake angle increases cutting aggression on tough metals including stainless and tool steel
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style supports contour and straight cutting applications
• Welded construction eliminates a mechanical joint, reducing the risk of blade breakage at the seam

Compatibility

Designed for use on bandsaw machines accepting a 173-inch blade length with a 1-inch blade width. Compatible cutting materials include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific machine manufacturer's requirements. Power down and lockout the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling unspooled blade stock. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment before resuming cuts, and allow the blade to run briefly at low feed pressure to seat the set before full-rate cutting.
