Lenox 1792883 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1792883 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and industrial environments. It measures 14 feet 10 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The tooth cutting edge runs a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch using a Vari-Raker tooth set, which helps reduce vibration and extend blade life during continuous cuts. The high-speed steel M42 tooth material provides heat and wear resistance when cutting through hard or abrasive workpieces. The spring steel back adds flexibility and fatigue resistance. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians operating vertical or horizontal band saws.

The 1792883 is suited for cutting a wide range of metals in both production and job-shop settings. Material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and positive rake angle make it well-suited for interrupted cuts, bundles, and varying cross-sections. It belongs to the LENOX Classic Pro series, which targets consistent, repeatable cuts in medium to heavy-duty band saw operations. Typical install scenarios include retrofit onto existing band saw machines in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and tool rooms.

Key Features

• Variable 4 to 6 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chip loading
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during long cuts
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression on alloy and stainless steel
• 0.057 inches kerf width for precise, consistent material removal
• Welded construction provides a seamless loop ready for direct installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade welded bandsaw blade for band saw machines accepting a 14 feet 10 inches loop blade that is 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before installing. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, as tooth edges are sharp. After installation, run the blade at low speed briefly to confirm proper tracking before resuming full-speed operation.
