Lenox 1793027 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1793027 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications on vertical and horizontal band saws. Measuring 18 feet 10 inches in length and 1.5 inches wide at 0.05 inches thick, this blade runs a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern that reduces harmonic vibration and delivers smoother cuts across a wide range of material thicknesses. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel — a cobalt-enriched grade that retains edge hardness at elevated cutting temperatures. The spring steel backer provides flex fatigue resistance through continuous cycling. This blade is part of the Classic Pro series and is installed by millwrights, fabricators, and metal-cutting tradespeople in production and job-shop environments.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form with Vari-Raker set reduces chatter on structural profiles, tubing, and solid bar stock. It is appropriate for production sawing environments where consistent finish quality and blade life across mixed material runs are priorities. Contour cutting is not a rated application for this blade.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel tooth material for extended edge life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and chatter on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent kerf
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance through high-cycle continuous cutting
• 0.0780-inch kerf width for controlled material removal
• Welded construction for reliable joint strength at rated blade speed

Compatibility

Designed for use on vertical and horizontal band saw machines that accept a 1.5-inch wide blade with an 18-foot 10-inch loop length. Verify your machine's wheel diameter and blade tension specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with band saw setup procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the guard or handling the blade. Ensure blade tension, tracking, and guide clearances are set to the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Inspect the weld joint and blade body for any visible defects prior to first use.
