Lenox 19161RPB206250 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 19161RPB206250 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Part of the RX Plus series, it features a high speed steel (M42 grade) tooth edge bonded to a spring steel back for durability through aggressive cuts. The blade measures 20 feet 6 inches long by 1-1/2 inches wide and runs at a variable pitch of 2 to 3 teeth per inch (TPI) with a Vari-Set tooth set pattern. At 0.05 inches thick with a kerf width of 0.080 inches, it is built for production bandsaw work where clean, efficient cuts are required. Installation and service is typically performed by maintenance machinists or metal fabrication professionals.

This blade is suited for industrial and production-grade vertical or horizontal bandsaws that accept a 20 foot 6 inch welded loop blade, 1-1/2 inches wide. The variable pitch tooth form reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cutting, making it effective across a range of solid stock, structural shapes, and bundle cutting scenarios. It does not support contour cutting. The positive rake angle promotes aggressive feed rates in metal-cutting environments.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable pitch 2 to 3 TPI with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut quality
• Positive rake angle supports aggressive feed rates on metal stock
• Welded loop format — ready to install with no field joining required
• Kerf width of 0.080 inches for predictable material removal
• RX Plus series construction suited for high-production metal sawing operations

Compatibility

Designed for industrial bandsaws that accept a welded bi-metal blade measuring 20 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width. Confirm wheel size, blade guide clearance, and tension specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with the host saw manufacturer guidelines. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or mounting the blade — spring-steel backed blades can release stored tension suddenly. Verify blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing settings before returning the machine to service.
