Lenox 28144RPB123660 Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft 1 in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 28144RPB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial maintenance environments. The blade runs 12 feet long, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch tooth pattern rated at 3 to 4 TPI. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel set in a Vari-Set pattern, which distributes cutting forces across the kerf to reduce vibration and extend blade life. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through continuous band operation. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metal fabricators will find this blade suited to general structural and profile cutting tasks.

This blade is part of the LENOX RX Plus series and is designed for use on horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 12-foot welded loop. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonic vibration and chatter when cutting varying cross-sections or interrupted profiles. It is appropriate for cutting mild steel, alloy steel, and similar ferrous materials in production or service shop settings. The toothed, milled cutting edge delivers consistent chip clearance without operator adjustment between cuts.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI tooth pattern reduces vibration and extends blade life across varied material cross-sections
• Vari-Set tooth set distributes cutting load evenly across the kerf width of 0.060 inches
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient material removal
• Welded loop format ready for direct installation on compatible bandsaw machines
• RX Plus series designation indicates enhanced tooth geometry for challenging ferrous cutting applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 12-foot blade loop with a 1-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by qualified personnel following the saw manufacturer's blade-tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before opening the blade guards or handling the blade loop. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling or mounting the welded loop. Verify blade tension, wheel alignment, and guide bearing clearance before returning the machine to service.
