Lenox 19903RPB165030 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 19903RPB165030 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade from the RX Plus series, designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops and on job sites. The blade measures 16 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width with a 0.05-inch thickness. The cutting edge runs at a variable pitch of 2 to 3 TPI using a Vari-Set tooth set, which helps reduce vibration and improve chip evacuation during cuts. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel, bonded to a spring steel back, making this blade well suited for cutting a wide range of metals including alloy steels and stainless. Licensed HVAC and mechanical contractors, pipefitters, and metal fabricators are the primary installers.

This blade is intended for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 16 foot 6 inch loop blade with a 1-1/2 inch width. The variable pitch tooth form is effective on structural shapes, solid bar stock, tubing, and bundled materials where consistent chip load across varying cross-sections is required. The RX Plus series targets production-level cutting environments where blade life and consistent performance under continuous use are priorities. It is not designed for contour or radius cutting.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with 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 harmonics during cutting
• Positive tooth rake angle improves cutting aggressiveness on ferrous metals
• 0.0800-inch kerf width provides consistent material removal
• Welded loop construction in the RX Plus series for production bandsaw use
• Not configured for contour cutting — suited for straight, structural, and bar stock cuts

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal or vertical bandsaws that accept a 16 foot 6 inch blade loop with a 1-1/2 inch blade width. Verify your saw's wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and tension specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lockout the saw before removing the old blade or fitting the new one. Verify blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's guidelines before making a cut. Break in a new bi-metal blade with a reduced feed rate for the first several cuts to allow the tooth edge to seat properly and extend overall blade life.
