Lenox 1836214 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1836214 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Stretching 173 inches in total length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch body thickness, this blade fits standard vertical bandsaws used in fabrication and machine shops. The bi-metal construction pairs an M42 high-speed steel tooth edge with a spring steel back, delivering durability under heavy cutting cycles. A variable-pitch tooth form ranging from 5 to 8 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and produces cleaner cuts across a range of material thicknesses. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle support aggressive chip evacuation, making this blade well-suited for production cutting environments.

This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is designed for cutting a broad range of metals including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, structural steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is a solid choice for machine shops, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians who require consistent performance on mixed material cutting runs. The 5 to 8 TPI variable pitch makes it effective on both thin-walled sections and solid stock without requiring a blade change. The welded construction provides a continuous, uniform loop with no mechanical joint.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the machine manufacturer's specifications. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as teeth are sharp and the spring steel back can snap under improper handling. Confirm wheel guides and blade guides are adjusted to manufacturer tolerances after installation before returning the machine to service.
