Lenox 27680RPB134115 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 27680RPB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 162 inches long and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form, rated at 4 to 6 TPI, reduces vibration and noise during cuts while extending blade life on a range of stock profiles. It is part of the LENOX RX Plus series and is installed by metalworking fabricators, maintenance mechanics, and industrial cutting technicians.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw setups handling structural steel, solid bar stock, bundles, and similar ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The variable pitch Vari-Set tooth geometry makes it particularly effective when cutting irregular or mixed cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter. Typical applications include production metal fabrication shops and MRO environments where consistent, clean cuts on varying material thicknesses are required.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasion-resistant metals
• Variable pitch tooth form at 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying cross-sections
• Vari-Set tooth set minimizes kerf waste with a 0.0680-inch kerf width
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Welded construction eliminates joint failure points associated with coiled blade inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock blade for bandsaw machines accepting a 162-inch loop length with a 1-1/4-inch wide blade. Verify your machine's wheel diameter and blade guide specifications before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified metalworking technicians familiar with blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the bandsaw before removing or installing any blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or looped blades, as tooth edges are sharp. Confirm proper blade tension and tracking alignment before returning the machine to service.
