Lenox 27647RPB144420 Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal M42

Product Description

The LENOX 27647RPB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for metal-cutting applications in production and job-shop environments. This blade measures 174 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern. The tooth tips are M42 high speed steel with a positive rake angle and Vari-Set tooth set, which help extend blade life and maintain cut quality in interrupted or variable-cross-section cuts. The spring steel back provides consistent tension and fatigue resistance during continuous operation. Licensed metalworking technicians and metal fabricators are the primary installers of this product.

This blade is suited for straight and contour-free cuts through structural metal, solid bar stock, tubing, and similar workpieces on horizontal or vertical metal-cutting bandsaws. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which is particularly useful when cutting bundles or stock with changing cross-sections. The RX Plus series designation places it in a performance tier intended for demanding production sawing where blade longevity and cut accuracy are priorities over entry-level cost.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel tooth tips for extended cutting life in hard and abrasion-resistant metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and noise during cutting
• Positive rake angle improves chip removal and cutting efficiency
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern distributes cutting forces for smoother finishes
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and maintains blade tension over long run times
• Welded construction provides a continuous, balanced blade loop

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 174-inch blade loop with a 1-1/4-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the edges are sharp. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension settings on the machine before resuming operation.
