Lenox 1806889 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1806889 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for industrial and trade cutting applications. It measures 13 feet 4 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 variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pitch reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, making it well suited for a wide range of metal cross-sections. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, providing both edge retention and blade flexibility. Machinists, fabricators, and metal service professionals are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is designed for use on industrial and commercial bandsaw machines that accept a 13-foot 4-inch loop blade. The variable pitch tooth pattern and Vari-Raker tooth set make it effective across a broad spectrum of metal types, including structural profiles, solid bar stock, and tubing. Applications include job-shop fabrication, maintenance facilities, and production cutting environments where consistent, clean cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals are required.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long blade life
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes tooth loading and gullet packing
• 0.057-inch kerf width for efficient material removal
• Classic Pro series — designed for demanding production and job-shop cutting cycles
• Toothed, milled, and variable cutting edge style for smooth, accurate cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for bandsaw machines that accept a 13-foot 4-inch welded loop blade, 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the machine's blade guides and wheel spacing are set for a 1-inch-wide blade before mounting. Track and tension the blade according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before making the first cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade.
