Lenox 27046RPB154775 Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 27046RPB154775 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 188 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide at 0.042 inches thick, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cutting, which extends blade life and improves cut quality on structural shapes, tubing, and solid stock. Licensed HVAC, millwright, pipefitter, and fabrication professionals install and operate this blade type on horizontal and vertical bandsaw equipment.

This blade is part of the LENOX RX Plus series and is suited for production metal-cutting environments where consistent feed rates and long blade life are priorities. The positive rake angle improves chip clearance when cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloy steel, and stainless. The variable pitch pattern at 3 to 4 TPI makes it effective across a range of material cross-sections, including thick-wall tubing, solid rounds, and structural angle iron. It is intended for professional use on floor-standing bandsaws with appropriately sized blade guides and tensioning systems.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible spring steel back for durability under continuous cutting loads
• Variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut finish
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern minimizes kerf waste with a 0.0700 inch kerf width
• Positive rake angle promotes efficient chip evacuation on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Welded construction at 188 inches (15 feet 8 inches) provides a ready-to-install loop for compatible saws
• RX Plus series designation indicates enhanced fatigue resistance for high-cycle production use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaw machines accepting a 188-inch blade loop with 1-1/4 inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator or maintenance technician following the saw manufacturer's blade change procedure. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Verify blade guide spacing, wheel alignment, and tensioner settings match the blade width and thickness specifications before operation. Eye protection, cut-resistant gloves, and adherence to OSHA machine guarding standards apply during blade handling and installation.
