Lenox 27801RPB113505 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 27801RPB113505 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 11 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width, with a 0.042-inch blade thickness and a kerf width of 0.068 inches. It runs a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern, which distributes cutting load across the tooth profile to reduce vibration and extend blade life. The M42 high speed steel tooth material resists heat buildup during aggressive cuts, while the spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metalworking fabricators will find this blade suited to high-cycle production use.

This blade is part of the LENOX RX Plus series, targeting horizontal and vertical bandsaws used in structural steel, pipe, and solid bar stock cutting. The variable pitch tooth form and Vari-Set tooth set help maintain a consistent chip load when transitioning between varying material cross-sections. It is appropriate for light industrial shops, maintenance facilities, and metal fabrication operations that require a reliable OEM-style welded blade in this length class. No contour cutting application is rated for this blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varying cross-sections
• 0.068-inch kerf width and positive rake angle promote efficient chip evacuation
• Welded blade loop in 11 feet 6 inches length fits a wide range of production bandsaw frames
• RX Plus series designation indicates heavy-duty, high-cycle cutting performance on metal stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept an 11 feet 6 inch blade loop in a 1-1/4 inch width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician with the saw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Blade tension and tracking must be set according to the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming cuts. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or coiled blade stock. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheels for wear before installing a new blade.
