Lenox 27896RPB123910 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 27896RPB123910 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 12 feet 10 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade features a variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI, reducing vibration and improving cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers heat and wear resistance during high-cycle cutting. A spring steel back provides flex and fatigue resistance through continuous band use. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians operating vertical or horizontal bandsaws.

This blade is suited for contour-free cutting of solid bar stock, structural sections, and tubing in production or job-shop settings. The RX Plus series variable pitch design helps minimize harmonic vibration, which is especially useful when cutting bundled material or varying cross-sections. The Vari-Set tooth set pattern distributes cutting load evenly, extending blade life between changes. It is a welded blade ready to mount directly onto compatible bandsaw machines without further preparation.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended wear life in metal-cutting applications
• Variable pitch (3 to 4 TPI) with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and chatter
• Spring steel back construction provides fatigue resistance in continuous-band operation
• 0.060-inch kerf width for efficient material removal
• Positive rake angle supports aggressive, controlled cutting action
• Welded construction — ready to install with no additional joining required

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount welded bandsaw blade for vertical or horizontal bandsaw machines accepting a 1-inch-wide blade in the 12-foot 10-inch loop length. Verify your machine's blade length specification and wheel spacing before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use appropriate blade-handling gloves — bandsaw blades present a laceration hazard during handling. Set blade tension and tracking per the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
