Lenox 27146RPB113505 Bandsaw Blade 138 in Bi-metal 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 27146RPB113505 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 138 inches (11 feet 6 inches) in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness, it fits a range of floor-standing vertical bandsaws. The blade features M42 high-speed steel teeth set in a variable pitch pattern of 3 to 4 TPI, which reduces vibration and harmonic chatter during cuts. A positive rake angle and Vari-Set tooth geometry improve chip evacuation and extend blade life on structural steel, tubing, and solid bar stock. This blade is part of the LENOX RX Plus series and is designed for installation by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics.

This blade is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting in production shops, maintenance facilities, and metal fabrication operations. The variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch makes it effective on a range of material thicknesses and cross-sections, including solid rounds, rectangular bar, and structural shapes. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42 high-speed steel teeth, delivering durability under continuous-duty cutting loads. It is intended for use on vertical bandsaws that accept 1-1/4-inch-wide blades at a 138-inch blade length.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: spring steel back bonded with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and chatter on varied cross-section workpieces
• Vari-Set tooth set geometry improves chip clearance and surface finish quality
• Positive rake angle increases cutting aggression on structural and solid metal stock
• Welded blade loop at 138 inches length fits standard floor-standing vertical bandsaws
• RX Plus series construction rated for production-level intermittent and continuous cutting cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for vertical bandsaws accepting a 1-1/4-inch-wide blade at a 138-inch (11 feet 6 inches) loop length. Verify blade width and loop length against the machine specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified mechanic or machinist with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Confirm wheel guides, blade guides, and blade tension are adjusted to the manufacturer specification for 1-1/4-inch blade width before powering on. Inspect blade welds and set before first use; do not operate a blade with a visible crack or misaligned weld.
