Lenox 1793036 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The LENOX 1793036 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting in demanding metal fabrication and sawing applications. At 162 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide, this blade fits a range of industrial vertical and horizontal bandsaws. The cutting edge combines M42 high speed steel teeth on a spring steel back, delivering heat and wear resistance needed for tough materials. The variable pitch tooth form at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during the cut. A Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote efficient chip clearing. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, and metalworkers installing or fabricating structural assemblies rely on blades like this to maintain cut quality across varied stock profiles.

This blade is suited for metal-cutting bandsaws in commercial shops, fabrication facilities, and mechanical contractor environments. It handles a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The 2 to 3 TPI variable pitch is most effective on solid stock and structural profiles where a coarser tooth count aids chip evacuation. This is not designed for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended edge life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch 2 to 3 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and chatter during cuts
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle for efficient chip clearing
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over long run cycles
• 0.042 inches blade thickness with a 0.070 inches kerf width for controlled material removal
• Welded construction for seamless loop integrity on standard bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for industrial and commercial metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 162-inch blade loop, 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch blade thickness.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or seating the new one. Verify wheel tracking and blade tension settings match the manufacturer's specification for this blade width before resuming operation. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be inspected and adjusted at each blade change.
