Lenox 19503RPB113480 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 19503RPB113480 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. It measures 11 feet 5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick. The blade uses a variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern with a Vari-Set tooth set, which reduces vibration and delivers smoother cuts across varying material cross-sections. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides heat resistance and edge retention during high-cycle sawing. Licensed metalworkers, machinists, and fabricators are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for production metal cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept an 11 foot 5 inch loop. It performs well on structural steel, alloy steel, tubing, and solid bar stock where variable pitch reduces harmonic vibration and extends blade life. The RX Plus series designation indicates it is built for continuous-duty cutting in shop environments. It is not designed for contour cutting applications. Typical users include machine shops, pipe fabrication shops, and structural steel operations.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and tooth hardness
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish on varied cross-sections
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern distributes cutting load and extends blade service life
• Positive rake angle increases cutting aggression for faster stock removal on ferrous metals
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches for predictable material loss in layout and nesting calculations
• Welded loop construction provides a consistent, balanced blade with no mechanical joint to fail mid-cut

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a blade loop of 11 feet 5 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified operator following the saw manufacturer's lockout and tagout procedures before opening blade guards. Blade tracking and tension must be set per the machine manufacturer's specifications after installation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or unlooped blade. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires before installing a new blade to avoid premature failure.
