Lenox 27993RPB154570 Welded Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 27993RPB154570 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial environments. Measuring 15 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch blade thickness, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical band saws used in production and maintenance shops. The variable-pitch tooth geometry — rated 4 to 6 TPI — reduces vibration and noise during the cut, extending blade life and improving cut quality on a range of stock sizes. The cutting edge is milled and features a positive rake angle with a Vari-Set tooth set pattern. High-speed steel M42 teeth are bonded to a spring steel back, giving the blade both edge durability and body flexibility.

This blade is intended for professional use in metal-cutting applications where variable pitch provides an advantage over constant-pitch blades — primarily when cutting solid bar stock, structural shapes, or bundled material. The RX Plus series is designed for production cutting environments. Installation and use require a band saw with the correct wheel diameter and blade guide clearance to accept a 1-1/4-inch wide blade. Licensed machinists, maintenance mechanics, and fabrication shop technicians are the typical end users for this blade specification.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable-pitch tooth form (4 to 6 TPI) reduces harmonics and extends blade life on varied stock profiles
• Positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency on metal stock
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern minimizes kerf width while maintaining a 0.0680-inch kerf
• Milled toothed cutting edge for consistent tooth geometry across the blade length
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready for installation without additional joining

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for band saws that accept a 1-1/4-inch wide blade with a 15-foot loop length. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and machine capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with band saw blade changes. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the existing blade or installing this blade. Ensure blade tension, tracking, and guide bearings are set per the saw manufacturer specifications after installation. Inspect wheel condition and guide inserts before mounting a new blade to avoid premature wear.
