Lenox 1802788 Welded Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1802788 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in shop and industrial environments. Stretching 15 feet in length and 1-1/2 inches wide with a 0.05-inch thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high-speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form runs at 3 to 4 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set and a positive rake angle, delivering smooth, efficient cuts across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It carries the Classic Pro series designation and produces a kerf width of 0.079 inches. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians and metal fabrication tradespeople on horizontal and vertical band saws.

This blade is suited for cutting 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 harmonics and vibration during the cut, making it particularly effective on irregular cross-sections, bundles, and solid bar stock. Residential and light commercial shops, as well as heavy industrial maintenance operations, regularly use this blade format for production sawing where consistent tooth life and cut quality are priorities.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended tooth life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance through continuous flex cycles
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient material removal
• Welded construction for a consistent, ready-to-install loop
• Broad material compatibility: alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, tool steel, mold steel, and more

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or upgrade bandsaw blade for band saws accepting a 15-foot loop with a 1-1/2-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify that blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tracking are properly adjusted to match the 1-1/2-inch blade width before applying tension. Follow the saw manufacturer's recommended blade tension specifications and confirm blade tracking before resuming cuts.
