Lenox 1793111 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The LENOX 1793111 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 210 inches (17 feet 6 inches) in length and 1-1/4 inches in width, with a 0.042-inch blade thickness and a kerf width of 0.067 inches. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, a cobalt-bearing grade known for heat resistance and edge retention when cutting tough alloys. A variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation across varying cross-sections. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die workers, and metal fabricators typically install and operate this blade on vertical or horizontal band saws.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop cutting of a broad range of metals including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, and aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch and Vari-Raker tooth set make it effective on both solid bar stock and structural profiles where material cross-section changes during the cut. It is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series, which targets professional metalworking environments requiring consistent performance across high-volume cutting cycles.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel tooth material provides strong heat and wear resistance on hard alloys
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish on varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and reduces blade deflection
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles
• Toothed, milled, variable cutting edge style supports contour-to-straight band saw applications
• Compatible with a wide material range: carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, tool steel, and more

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for band saws accepting a 210-inch blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width. Confirm your machine's wheel diameter and blade-guide specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Verify blade tension and tracking alignment after installation before resuming operation. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before mounting a new blade.
