Lenox 1793033 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2 to 3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1793033 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting of metals in industrial and shop environments. It measures 138 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042 inch thickness and a variable pitch of 2 to 3 TPI. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, which provides hardness and heat resistance during demanding cuts. The spring steel back absorbs vibration and resists fatigue over long production runs. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws.

The 1793033 is suited for cutting a wide range of metal materials in fabrication shops, toolrooms, and production facilities. Its variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce harmonic vibration and chatter when cutting through varying cross-sections. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The positive rake angle promotes efficient chip formation and faster cut rates on both solid bar stock and structural shapes.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on tough alloys
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chatter
• Positive rake angle improves cutting efficiency on dense metals
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexing during continuous cuts
• Toothed milled cutting edge with variable form for smooth, consistent kerf
• 0.0700 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 138 inch loop length and 1-1/4 inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Verify wheel tracking alignment and blade guides are set correctly before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled bandsaw blades, as the edges are sharp.
