Lenox 1792986 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1792986 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in production and fabrication environments. Measuring 12 feet long and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness and a variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch, this blade handles a wide range of material thicknesses in a single setup. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips are set in a Vari-Raker pattern, which reduces vibration, extends tooth life, and produces a clean kerf. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over continuous use. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and metalworking shops will find this blade suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaws cutting structural and specialty metals.

This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is designed for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is a non-contour blade intended for straight cuts. The variable pitch tooth form minimizes harmonic vibration when transitioning between varying cross-sections, making it a practical choice for shops processing mixed material stock or irregular profiles. Metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and pipe fitters who run production bandsaws will find this blade appropriate for both heavy structural cuts and lighter gauge work.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel tooth tips for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexing during continuous cutting cycles
• 0.0670-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Positive rake angle improves cut aggression on ferrous and non-ferrous stock
• Welded construction provides a consistent joint for smooth blade tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 12-foot, 1-1/4-inch wide blade with standard welded construction.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator with the machine fully powered down and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension specifications on the bandsaw frame before mounting. Inspect blade welds for cracks before installing. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and coiling bandsaw blades.
