Lenox 1793040 Welded Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1793040 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Stretching 15 feet in length with a 1-1/4 inch width and 0.042 inch thickness, this blade is built for horizontal and vertical bandsaws handling a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock. The variable pitch tooth form runs at 2 to 3 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set, reducing vibration and improving cut quality on irregular cross-sections. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material provides heat and wear resistance during aggressive cuts. Licensed metal fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers of this blade type.

This blade is suited for production cutting of alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern and positive rake angle make it effective on both solid bar stock and structural profiles where a fixed-pitch blade would generate excessive vibration or premature tooth wear. It belongs to the LENOX Classic Pro series, which targets high-volume cutting environments that require consistent performance over extended run times.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and edge retention
• Variable pitch 2 to 3 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes vibration and improves chip clearance
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting action on dense metals
• 0.0700 inch kerf width for controlled material removal
• Toothed milled variable cutting edge style for consistent tooth geometry throughout blade life
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready to mount without additional joining

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaws that accept a 15-foot blade loop with a 1-1/4 inch width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension capacity before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or millwright familiar with bandsaw tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw at the main disconnect before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications before making any cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and mounting.
