Lenox 28027RPB123810 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 28027RPB123810 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Part of the RX Plus series, it measures 12 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width with a blade thickness of 0.042 inches. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance suited for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Variable pitch tooth form at 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut. Licensed metalworking professionals and fabrication shops are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is intended for use on horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 12-foot 6-inch blade in 1-1/4 inch width. The variable pitch geometry handles a range of material thicknesses in a single blade, making it practical for job shops and production facilities cutting structural steel, tubing, and bar stock. The Vari-Set tooth set pattern and positive rake angle contribute to consistent chip clearance and reduced blade deflection during cuts. This blade is not designed for contour or radius cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and minimizes harmonic resonance during cutting
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern improves kerf consistency and extends blade life
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready for installation without field joining
• RX Plus series designation indicates industrial-grade performance specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot 6-inch blade with 1-1/4 inch width and 0.042 inch gauge.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout the bandsaw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Follow the machine manufacturer specifications for blade tension settings appropriate to the blade width and material being cut. Confirm blade tracking is centered on the wheel before resuming operation.
