Lenox 1793069 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3 to 4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1793069 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and industrial environments. Measuring 186 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width with a 0.042-inch body thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, extending blade life and improving surface finish on a wide range of metals. Licensed HVAC, fabrication, and metalworking trades rely on this Classic Pro series blade where consistent performance and blade longevity are required on production bandsaw equipment.

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 and Vari-Raker tooth set make it effective across varying cross-sections and wall thicknesses, whether cutting solid bar stock, tubing, or structural shapes. It is intended for use on metal-cutting vertical or horizontal bandsaws that accept a 186-inch blade with a 1-1/4-inch blade width. The positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup during extended cuts.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for bi-metal durability
• Variable pitch at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and extends blade life on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set improves chip clearance and minimizes tooth stripping
• Positive rake angle promotes efficient cutting on hard and tough metals
• 0.067-inch kerf width balances material removal with cut accuracy
• Welded construction provides a reliable joint suited for continuous production use

Compatibility

Designed for metal-cutting bandsaws requiring a 186-inch blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade changes. Power down and de-energize the saw completely before removing the existing blade or mounting the new blade. Verify blade tension and guide settings per the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as edges are sharp throughout the full length.
