Lenox 28140RPB185640 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4 to 6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 28140RPB185640 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. Measuring 18 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high-speed steel teeth. The variable-pitch tooth pattern at 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during cutting, which extends blade life and improves cut quality on a range of stock sizes. Licensed tradespeople and skilled machinists in metal fab, structural, and mechanical shops rely on blades like this for consistent, repeatable cuts through solid bar, tubing, and structural profiles.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in metal-cutting service shops, manufacturing facilities, and HVAC or mechanical contracting operations that cut structural steel, pipe, bar stock, or similar ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The RX Plus series designation indicates it is designed for high-performance production cutting where blade longevity and smooth feed rates are priorities. The variable-pitch Vari-Set tooth geometry handles both thin-wall and solid stock without the blade chatter common in fixed-pitch designs. It is packaged and sold as a single blade.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on tough ferrous metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and minimizes tooth stripping on variable cross-sections
• Spring steel back provides flex resistance and fatigue durability over extended run cycles
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern improves chip clearance and reduces heat buildup
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient material removal
• 0.068-inch kerf width delivers a clean, precise cut with minimal material loss

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-compatible replacement or production-use blade for metal-cutting bandsaw machines that accept a 1-1/4-inch-wide blade in an 18-foot 6-inch loop length.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications. Power down and lock out the machine before handling or changing the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. Verify wheel tracking and blade tension after installation before resuming cutting operations.
