Lenox 27663RPB134115 Bandsaw Blade 13.5 in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 27663RPB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 13 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, it carries a variable pitch of 4 to 6 TPI. The tooth body is M42 high speed steel, and the back is spring steel — a combination that delivers heat resistance and blade flex under sustained load. The variable pitch tooth form and Vari-Set tooth set reduce vibration and harmonic chatter during the cut, extending blade life on interrupted or variable cross-section workpieces. Installed by machinists, metal fabricators, and maintenance trades on horizontal or vertical band saws.

This blade is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting on production band saws that accept a 13 feet 6 inch blade length. The 1-inch width and variable pitch geometry make it a practical choice for straight cuts through solid bar stock, tubing, and structural shapes. The M42 cobalt-bearing high speed steel tooth material handles work-hardening alloys and stainless steel better than standard M2 blades. It is packaged as a single pre-welded loop ready for installation without additional joining steps on the shop floor.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to spring steel back for durability and flex
• Variable pitch (4 to 6 TPI) with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting on metal stock
• Pre-welded loop — no field joining required, ready to mount on compatible band saws
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches for predictable material removal and close-tolerance cut planning
• Part of the LENOX RX Plus series, designed for demanding metal-cutting production use

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for band saws requiring a 13 feet 6 inch loop length with a 1-inch blade width. Verify your saw's blade length specification and guide clearance for 1-inch-wide blades before ordering.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and coiling the blade. Set blade tension and blade guide alignment according to the saw manufacturer's service documentation before running the blade under load. Do not operate the saw with blade guards removed.
