Lenox 27720RPB123660 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft

Product Description

The LENOX 27720RPB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial environments. The blade runs 12 feet in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern rated at 4 to 6 TPI. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers heat and wear resistance during extended cuts. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous band operation. This blade is typically installed by metalworking professionals and maintenance machinists operating vertical or horizontal band saws.

This blade is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting in production and job-shop settings. The variable pitch tooth geometry reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during the cut, which helps extend blade life and improves surface finish on structural shapes, pipe, and bar stock. The Vari-Set tooth set and positive rake angle promote aggressive chip clearance. The RX Plus series designation places this blade in LENOX's contour and structural cutting lineup. This is not a contour-cutting blade — it is designed for straight cuts on a standard band saw.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and extends blade life during metal cutting
• M42 high speed steel teeth provide superior heat and wear resistance
• Spring steel back construction resists fatigue and flexing stress during continuous band operation
• Vari-Set tooth set and positive rake angle promote efficient chip evacuation
• 0.035 inch blade thickness with 0.058 inch kerf width for consistent cut accuracy
• Welded construction for direct drop-in band saw installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical band saws accepting a 12-foot, 1-inch-wide blade in metalworking and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw blade changes. Power down and fully de-energize the saw before opening blade guards or removing the existing blade. Confirm wheel spacing and blade guide clearances match the 1-inch blade width and 0.035-inch thickness before tensioning. Follow the saw manufacturer's recommended tensioning procedure and allow a break-in period at reduced feed rate for the first several cuts.
