Lenox 27858RPB113505 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 27858RPB113505 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 11 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, it delivers consistent performance in stationary vertical and horizontal bandsaws. The blade features a variable pitch tooth pattern at 4 to 6 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across varying material cross-sections. High speed steel M42 teeth are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, giving the blade the flexibility to resist fatigue and the edge retention to cut harder alloys. This blade is part of the LENOX RX Plus series and is installed by metalworking professionals and maintenance trades.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop environments where a single blade must handle a range of structural steel, tubing, solid bar stock, and light alloys. The 4 to 6 TPI variable pitch configuration handles both thin-wall sections and heavier cross-sections without changing blades. The Vari-Set tooth set widens the kerf slightly to 0.058 inches, reducing blade pinching in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and feed rate on tougher materials.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and produces smoother cuts across varying cross-sections
• Vari-Set tooth set with 0.058 inch kerf width minimizes blade binding in the cut
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal and faster feed rates
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and cracking under continuous bandsaw operation
• RX Plus series construction for extended blade life in metal-cutting service

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for stationary bandsaws accepting a 11 foot 6 inch by 1 inch bi-metal blade with a 0.035 inch gauge.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guides are set to accept a 1 inch wide blade before installation. Tension the blade according to the saw manufacturer's specifications and confirm blade tracking before resuming operation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
