Lenox 1850371 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The LENOX 1850371 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications across a wide range of metals. Measuring 154 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch, this blade is part of the Classic Pro series. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel with a Vari-Raker tooth set and a positive rake angle, delivering aggressive chip removal with reduced vibration. At 3.2 pounds, the blade is sized for industrial and commercial vertical or horizontal bandsaws used in metalworking shops and fabrication environments. Licensed HVAC techs, pipefitters, metal fabricators, and maintenance trades install blades of this type during scheduled saw maintenance or when switching between material types.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad 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 minimizes harmonic vibration when transitioning between solid bar stock, tubing, and structural profiles, making it a practical choice for job shops that process mixed material runs. The 0.067-inch kerf width provides a clean, controlled cut path in both straight and contour applications. Contour cutting is not supported with this blade configuration.

Key Features

• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation
• M42 high speed steel teeth provide hardness and heat resistance for cutting tough alloys and stainless steel
• Bi-metal construction bonds HSS tooth material to a spring steel back for flex resistance and long blade life
• Positive rake angle delivers faster, more aggressive cuts through dense metals
• 0.067-inch kerf width supports precise, consistent cut paths across varying stock profiles
• Classic Pro series — welded construction for consistent tension and dimensional accuracy

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for industrial and commercial metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 154-inch blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement is typically performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Before replacing the blade, power down and lockout/tagout the saw per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect blade guides, wheel tires, and tension mechanism before installing the new blade, and set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer specifications. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade.
