Lenox 1793087 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1793087 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous-duty cutting in metal fabrication and industrial shop environments. At 13 feet 5 inches in overall length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness, it is sized for large vertical or horizontal band saws used in production and job-shop settings. The variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern with a vari-raker tooth set allows the blade to transition efficiently across varying cross-sections, reducing vibration and improving cut quality. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material provides elevated heat and wear resistance, making it a reliable choice for demanding ferrous and non-ferrous cutting applications. Installation and blade changes are handled by qualified machinists or metal fabrication technicians.

This blade is built for cutting a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is suited for use on large-frame band saws in production shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments where consistent throughput and blade life are priorities. The variable pitch design helps manage chip load across irregular or varying stock profiles, reducing blade fatigue during extended cutting runs. It is not designed for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for superior heat and wear resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI vari-raker tooth pattern reduces vibration and improves chip clearance across varying cross-sections
• Spring steel back for flexibility and resistance to fatigue cracking under continuous cycling
• 0.067-inch kerf width delivers consistent, repeatable cuts with minimal material loss
• Positive tooth rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• LENOX Classic Pro series construction for extended blade service life in production environments

Compatibility

Compatible with large-frame vertical and horizontal band saws accepting a 13-foot 5-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.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician following the band saw manufacturer's specifications. Always power down and lockout/tagout the machine before removing or installing a blade. Use appropriate blade-handling gloves and eye protection when coiling, uncoiling, or mounting the blade. Verify blade tracking and tension before resuming cutting operations.
