Lenox 1793097 Welded Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1793097 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop environments. Measuring 15 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness, it uses a 4 to 6 TPI variable pitch tooth pattern that reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides edge retention when cutting hard and abrasive materials. A spring steel back delivers flexibility and fatigue resistance across extended run times. This blade is used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians operating horizontal or vertical band saws in production and job-shop settings.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it effective on solids, tubing, and structural profiles where consistent chip load across varying cross-sections is required. It is packaged as a single welded loop ready for installation without field welding.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and blade flex under tension
• 0.067-inch kerf width for predictable material removal
• Welded loop construction — ready to install, no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed for use on band saws that accept a 15-foot blade loop with a 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify your saw manufacturer's specified blade length, width, and thickness tolerances before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or industrial maintenance technician. Power down and lockout/tagout the saw before removing the guard or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or handling the blade loop. Verify proper blade tension according to the saw manufacturer's tensioning specifications before starting the machine.
