Lenox 1792960 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2 to 3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792960 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for continuous cutting operations on metal-cutting bandsaws. Measuring 18 feet 10 inches in length and 1.5 inches wide, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form runs at 2 to 3 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving surface finish across a wide range of material thicknesses. The Classic Pro series designation indicates a blade suited for high-cycle production environments. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance technicians familiar with metal fabrication shops will recognize this as a production-grade consumable for metal-cutting band saws.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. The variable Vari-Raker tooth set distributes cutting load and chip clearance evenly, making it effective on both solid bar stock and structural profiles. It is intended for use on horizontal or vertical metal-cutting bandsaws where a 1.5-inch-wide blade track is specified. Contour cutting is not supported with this blade configuration.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across variable stock sizes
• Vari-Raker tooth set optimizes chip clearance and minimizes tooth strippage
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance under continuous cycling
• 1.5-inch blade width delivers lateral stability for straight cuts in heavy cross-sections
• Welded construction eliminates mechanical joints for consistent tension and tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-stock welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 1.5-inch-wide blade with a working length of 18 feet 10 inches.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific bandsaw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout the bandsaw completely before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Verify wheel guards and blade guides are properly adjusted and secured before returning the machine to service.
