Lenox 1792885 Welded Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 1 in 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1792885 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for professional metal-cutting applications on horizontal and vertical band saws. Measuring 15 feet in length and 1 inch wide at 0.035 inches thick, it runs a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern that reduces vibration and minimizes tooth stripping when cutting varying cross-sections. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, giving the blade the flexibility to resist fatigue while maintaining edge hardness through demanding cuts. The Classic Pro series construction is suited for production environments where consistent cut quality across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials is required.

This blade is built for trade professionals cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce harmonic vibration and chip load variation, making it a reliable choice for both solid bar stock and structural profiles. It is not rated for contour cutting and is intended for straight-line production or job-shop sawing tasks.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and extends blade life
• 0.057 inch kerf width for clean, accurate cuts with minimal material loss
• Positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cutting aggression on tough metals
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready for immediate installation
• Compatible material applications include alloy, carbon, stainless, structural, tool, mold, and bearing steels as well as aluminum and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for band saws accepting a 15-foot welded blade loop that is 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify your saw's wheel diameter and blade guide spacing before installation to confirm this blade length and width are within the machine manufacturer's specifications.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw equipment. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or installing this one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade coil, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. Follow the saw manufacturer's tension and tracking guidelines; incorrect tension can cause premature blade fatigue or breakage.
