Lenox 1793099 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 1793099 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial service environments. The blade measures 15 feet 4 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width, with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a kerf width of 0.067 inches. Tooth geometry is variable pitch at 4 to 6 TPI using a Vari-Raker tooth set with a positive rake angle, which reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, a construction that defines the Classic Pro series and makes the blade suitable for high-volume production cutting on horizontal and vertical band saws.

This blade is well suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting in machine shops, metal service centers, pipe fabrication shops, and maintenance environments. The variable pitch tooth form handles interrupted cuts and varying cross-sections without stalling or chattering. It is appropriate for use on production band saws sized to accept a 1-1/4-inch blade width. Certified installers and millwrights performing routine blade changes will recognize the Classic Pro series as a standard production-grade replacement blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch 4 to 6 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and extends blade life
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• 0.067-inch kerf width minimizes material waste per cut
• Compatible with a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and structural steel
• Welded loop construction for use on standard horizontal and vertical production band saws

Compatibility

Designed for use on band saws that accept a 1-1/4-inch wide blade. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel. Verify your saw's wheel diameter and blade-length specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw machinery. Disengage and lock out all power to the saw before opening the blade guards or removing the old blade. Use appropriate gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth and spring-steel back present a laceration hazard. After tensioning, allow the blade to run unloaded for a brief break-in period and re-check tension before beginning production cuts.
