Lenox 1793119 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5 to 8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1793119 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width with a 0.042-inch thickness and a variable pitch of 5 to 8 teeth per inch. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material paired with a spring steel back delivers heat resistance and edge retention under continuous cutting loads. The vari-raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote efficient chip evacuation and reduce blade deflection during cuts. Licensed trade professionals and fabricators install this blade on horizontal and vertical band saws in production and maintenance settings.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch design reduces vibration and harmonic chatter, which makes it effective across varying cross-sections and wall thicknesses. It is intended for use in industrial and commercial fabrication shops, metalworking facilities, and machine shops where consistent, repeatable cuts are required across mixed material schedules.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch (5 to 8 TPI) with vari-raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut finish
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting across a wide range of metals
• Kerf width of 0.066 inches minimizes material loss per cut
• Compatible material applications include stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel, aluminum, tool steel, and more
• Classic Pro series design for consistent performance in production cutting environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical band saw machines that accept a 12-foot 6-inch blade length with a 1-1/4-inch width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout the band saw at the disconnect before opening the blade guards or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Verify that blade tension, tracking alignment, and guide bearing clearances are set according to the band saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation.
