Lenox 1793010 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 17.5 Ft 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1793010 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 17 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width with a 0.05-inch thickness, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws common in machine shops and metalworking facilities. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, while the M42 high speed steel tooth material holds an edge through hard alloys and abrasive materials. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabrication shop operators are the primary installers and users.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Classic Pro series targets production environments where blade life and cut quality are critical. It is designed for straight, contour-free cuts on standard bandsaw machines sized for 17-foot 6-inch blade stock. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle improve chip clearance and reduce heat buildup during extended cutting runs.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• 0.079-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible with alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, tool steel, and structural steel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 17-foot 6-inch by 1-1/2-inch blade. No specific model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel size, blade guides, and blade tension settings match the manufacturer specifications for a 1-1/2-inch wide blade before mounting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Confirm blade tracking and tension before resuming powered operation.
