Lenox 28348RPB134015 Welded Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 28348RPB134015 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. Built on the RX Plus series platform, it measures 13 feet 2 inches in length and 1 inch in width with a blade thickness of 0.035 inches. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance at the cutting edge, while the spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and produces a smoother cut across a range of material cross-sections. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metal fabricators rely on blades of this class for structural tube, pipe, and solid stock.

This blade is suited for vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines used in commercial and industrial shops handling ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The Vari-Set tooth set and positive rake angle work together to improve chip clearance and cutting efficiency on materials of varying wall thickness. It is a straight-contour blade, not designed for radius or contour cuts. The 1-inch width provides beam strength appropriate for straight, controlled cuts in heavier stock. Typical applications include cutting structural steel, stainless tubing, aluminum bar, and similar workshop materials.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended blade life in metal-cutting service
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Vari-Set tooth set with positive rake angle enhances chip evacuation
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and cracking under continuous flex
• Welded construction provides a consistent, balanced blade loop
• 1-inch width delivers beam strength for straight cuts in solid and hollow stock

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 13-foot 2-inch blade loop with a 1-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Verify that the blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tracking are properly adjusted to the 1-inch blade width before operation. Follow the bandsaw manufacturer service documentation and applicable ANSI machine safety standards during blade changes.
