Lenox 1852185 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The LENOX 1852185 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting of metals in industrial and shop environments. It measures 13 feet 7 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness, with a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern suited for cutting a wide range of stock sizes and material types. The blade features M42 high speed steel teeth on a spring steel back, delivering heat resistance and edge retention through demanding production cuts. It is installed and serviced by machinists, metal fabricators, and maintenance technicians using horizontal and vertical band saws.

This blade is designed for metal-cutting applications across a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The variable tooth form and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce vibration and harmonic chatter during the cut, making it well suited for structural sections, tubing, solid bar, and irregular profiles. It fits production shops, fabrication facilities, and tool rooms running mid- to large-frame band saws that accept a 1-inch-wide blade at this loop length. The Classic Pro series targets shops that require consistent weld quality and repeatable cut performance across high-cycle workloads.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended edge life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and improves cut quality on mixed stock
• Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes harmonic chatter and blade noise
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through continuous band cycling
• 0.057-inch kerf width balances material removal rate with blade stability
• Welded loop construction ready to mount — no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws that accept a 1-inch-wide welded blade at a 13-foot 7-inch loop length. Compatible cutting materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, structural steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following the band saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the existing blade or mounting the new one. Verify wheel guides, blade tension, and tracking are set to the saw manufacturer's specifications for a 1-inch blade before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade to avoid injury from the tooth edge.
