Lenox 1792985 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792985 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous-duty cutting across a wide range of metals. Measuring 138 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide at 0.042 inches thick, it fits vertical and horizontal band saws commonly used in fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial maintenance settings. The blade pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth set in a variable pitch, Vari-Raker tooth form. That combination reduces harmonic vibration, minimizes tooth strippage on interrupted cuts, and extends blade life when cutting varying cross-sections. Installation and blade changes are performed by qualified machinists or millwrights following standard lockout/tagout procedures.

This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series, designed for production cutting of a broad material range. It handles alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch suits medium to heavy cross-section workpieces where a single-pitch blade would chatter or load. It is a toothed, milled cutting edge with a positive rake angle, making it well suited to contour-free straight cutting applications in production or maintenance environments.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chip loading
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance through continuous flex cycles
• 0.0670 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Positive rake angle improves chip evacuation on dense ferrous and non-ferrous stock
• Welded construction for immediate installation without additional blade preparation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for vertical and horizontal band saws accepting a 138-inch length, 1-1/4-inch wide, 0.042-inch thick blade. Confirm your saw's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or millwright. Disconnect and lock out all power to the band saw before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or threading the blade through guide assemblies. Verify blade tension per the saw manufacturer's specification after seating the blade on the wheels.
