Lenox 19589RPB144420 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 19589RPB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 174 inches (14 feet 6 inches) in overall length and 1-1/4 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.042 inches. The blade features a variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch pattern with Vari-Set tooth set and a positive rake angle, which helps reduce cutting forces and improve chip evacuation on a range of stock sizes. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers extended edge life when cutting alloy steels, stainless, and other tough materials. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous band operation. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and metalworking professionals on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop environments where variable pitch reduces harmonic vibration and produces a cleaner cut surface. The RX Plus series targets structural shapes, solid rounds, bundles, and tubing across a range of cross-sections. The variable pitch tooth form handles interrupted cuts and mixed stock sizes without requiring a blade change. It is appropriate for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals where M42 bi-metal construction is specified.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long edge life and flex fatigue resistance
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cutting
• Positive rake angle improves chip clearance and lowers required feed force
• 0.042-inch blade thickness with a 0.0700-inch kerf width for controlled material removal
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready for direct installation on compatible bandsaw machines
• RX Plus series designed for structural shapes, solid rounds, bundles, and tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws that accept a 174-inch (14 feet 6 inches) loop, 1-1/4-inch wide blade with 0.042-inch thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or metalworking technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and the blade tension released before removing the old blade. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing on the saw matches the blade width of 1-1/4 inches before mounting. Gloves are required when handling bandsaw blades due to sharp tooth edges. Follow the saw manufacturer's blade tension and tracking specifications when seating the new blade.
