Lenox 27136RPB134090 Welded Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 27136RPB134090 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 161 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across a range of stock sizes. The blade body is spring steel, and the cutting teeth are M42 high speed steel, delivering heat and wear resistance under continuous cutting loads. It is part of the LENOX RX Plus series, a designation used on production bandsaw blades intended for high-cycle shop use. Installation and blade changes are typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with horizontal and vertical bandsaw equipment.

This blade is suited for use on production and job-shop bandsaws handling structural steel, alloy steel, and similar ferrous materials. The variable pitch (Vari-Set) tooth geometry makes it effective on solid rounds, tubing, and bundled stock where a fixed-pitch blade would generate excessive noise or premature tooth wear. At 161 inches, this blade length fits mid-size industrial bandsaw frames common in fabrication and machine shops. No contour cutting applications are recommended for this blade. Confirm your saw's wheel diameter and blade guide spacing before installation to ensure proper fit.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended tool life in ferrous metal cutting
• Variable pitch (3 to 4 TPI) Vari-Set tooth form reduces vibration and chatter
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over long run cycles
• Positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency
• 0.070-inch kerf width for predictable material removal rates
• Welded construction for seamless blade tracking on bandsaw wheels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for mid-size industrial bandsaw machines accepting a 161-inch blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician with the saw fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tracking, tension, and guide bearing clearance before resuming operation. Do not exceed the blade speed rating of the saw or run the blade on material types outside its rated application. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
