Lenox 1851993 Welded Bandsaw Blade 19.5 in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 1851993 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for metal-cutting applications on industrial and commercial vertical or horizontal bandsaws. Measuring 19 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide at 0.042 inches thick, it runs a variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern that balances chip clearance and cut speed across a range of cross-sections. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back for resilience under continuous load. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle work together to reduce vibration and extend blade life in demanding production cutting environments. This blade is part of the LENOX Classic Pro series and is sold as a single welded loop ready to mount.

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 tooth form makes it a practical choice for cutting solid bar stock, tubing, and structural profiles where consistent tooth engagement across varying cross-sections is required. It is typically installed by machinists, millwrights, and metal fabrication professionals on production or job-shop bandsaws that accept a 1-1/4 inch blade width.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and tough metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish across varying stock sizes
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent kerf quality
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance under continuous band tension
• Positive rake angle increases cutting aggression for faster stock removal
• Pre-welded loop construction — no field welding required before installation

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-stock welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 1-1/4 inch wide blade. Confirm wheel diameter, blade length, and blade guide clearance on the specific machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or millwright with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Blade guides and thrust bearings should be inspected and adjusted whenever a new blade is mounted. Handle coiled blades with cut-resistant gloves — the welded loop will spring open when uncoiled.
