Lenox 1802556 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1802556 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for industrial and professional metal-cutting applications. It measures 11 feet 5 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches and a kerf width of 0.057 inches. The tooth edge runs at a variable 4 to 6 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set and a positive rake angle, designed to clear chips efficiently and reduce vibration during cuts. The M42 high speed steel tooth material bonded to a spring steel back delivers hardness at the cutting edge while maintaining flexibility in the body. This blade is installed and serviced by professional metalworking machinists and maintenance technicians operating band saw equipment in shop and industrial environments.

The LENOX 1802556 is suited for contour-free straight cuts through a wide range of metals in production and maintenance settings. Its variable pitch design makes it an effective choice when cutting mixed-section or interrupted workpieces. Supported material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The Classic Pro series designation places this blade in a professional-grade lineup intended for high-demand band saw operations where blade life and cut quality are critical factors.

Installation Notes

Band saw 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 before handling. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before installing. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade during installation. Confirm blade tracking and tension adjustment before returning the machine to service.
