Lenox 1793071 Welded Bandsaw Blade 16 Ft 1-1/4 in 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1793071 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous cutting of a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Measuring 16 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness, it runs a variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch pattern that reduces vibration and noise while extending blade life. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, giving the blade the toughness to handle interrupted cuts and scale without premature tooth strippage. This blade is aimed at professional metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance trades that rely on vertical or horizontal band saws for production cutting.

The 1793071 is suited to production and job-shop environments where operators are cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable-pitch Vari-Raker tooth set with a positive rake angle delivers efficient chip evacuation on both solid bar stock and structural profiles. The Classic Pro series designation places it in LENOX's line of general-purpose industrial blades appropriate for shops running mid-range to heavy-duty band saw equipment.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel following the band saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled bandsaw blades, as the spring steel back can uncoil unexpectedly. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade width capacity on the saw before installation to confirm proper fit.
