Lenox 1792993 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 3 to 4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1792993 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and shop environments. The blade measures 17 feet 9 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width, with a 0.05-inch thickness and a 0.079-inch kerf width. It features a variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set and a positive rake angle. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material provides heat resistance and edge retention during high-feed cuts through tough materials. Licensed metalworking professionals and experienced fabricators handle installation and tensioning on horizontal and vertical band saws.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of metals in production and job-shop settings. Its variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth geometry reduce vibration and harmonic chatter, which makes it effective on interrupted cuts, structural sections, and bundled stock. Material compatibility includes alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Classic Pro series positions this blade for mid-to-high-duty cycle use where consistent finish quality and blade life are priorities over entry-level tooling.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for combined flexibility and cutting performance
• Variable pitch at 3 to 4 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set to minimize vibration and extend blade life
• Positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient chip removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 0.079-inch kerf width delivers consistent cut width across supported material types
• Welded construction for continuous loop operation on standard band saw machines
• Broad material compatibility covering alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, tool steel, and structural steel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical band saw machines that accept a 1-1/2-inch-wide blade in a 17-foot 9-inch loop length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician following the band saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the machine before mounting or removing any blade. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing are appropriate for a 1-1/2-inch-wide blade before installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades, as tooth edges present a laceration hazard.
