Lenox 19983RPB113505 Bandsaw Blade 11.5 Ft 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 19983RPB113505 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and field environments. Measuring 11 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade is sized for stationary vertical and horizontal band saws commonly found in fabrication and maintenance shops. The variable pitch tooth pattern runs 5 to 8 TPI, allowing the blade to self-damp vibration and transition smoothly across varying material cross-sections. High speed steel M42 teeth are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with fatigue resistance under continuous load. Licensed HVAC, pipefitting, and mechanical contractors reach for this blade when cutting structural steel, pipe, and tubing.

This blade is suited to metal-cutting band saws in light industrial, commercial, and heavy trade environments. The variable pitch design handles a broad range of material thicknesses without requiring a blade change, making it practical on job sites where downtime is costly. It is a strong fit for cutting ferrous metals, structural shapes, and pipe stock. The RX Plus series designation indicates LENOX application engineering for general-purpose metal sawing where a single blade must cover multiple cross-sections in a production or service environment.

Key Features

• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and noise across changing material thicknesses
• M42 high speed steel teeth deliver extended edge life on ferrous metals and hard alloys
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material waste on precision cuts
• Welded construction ensures consistent tension and reliable tracking on the blade guide

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for stationary metal-cutting band saws accepting an 11-foot 6-inch by 1-inch blade in the LENOX RX Plus series.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson following the saw manufacturer's guidelines. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blades, as the tooth edge presents a laceration hazard. Verify blade tension, tracking alignment, and guide bearing clearance before returning the saw to service.
