Lenox 1793088 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1793088 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for professional metal-cutting applications. It measures 162 inches (13 feet 6 inches) in length and 1-1/4 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.042 inches and a kerf width of 0.067 inches. The tooth edge is made from M42 high-speed steel set in a Vari-Raker pattern with a variable pitch of 4 to 6 TPI and a positive rake angle. The spring steel back adds durability and resistance to fatigue under sustained cutting loads. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is intended for installation and use by metal fabricators, machinists, and maintenance technicians.

This blade is suited for straight and contour-free cutting on horizontal and vertical band saws in production shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance environments. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch is optimized for cutting a wide range of cross-sections and wall thicknesses. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is not rated for contour cutting.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip clearance
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient stock removal
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and blade flex under continuous use
• Welded construction for consistent blade tension and tracking
• Suitable for alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock blade for band saws accepting a 162-inch (13 feet 6 inches) blade length with a 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify saw wheel size, blade guide clearance, and tension rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw blade changes. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Confirm proper blade tension, tracking adjustment, and guide bearing alignment before returning the saw to service.
