Lenox 28366RPB123910 Bandsaw Blade 154in 1in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 28366RPB123910 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. At 154 inches (12 feet 10 inches) long and 1 inch wide, it mounts on horizontal and vertical band saws sized for that wheel-to-wheel dimension. The blade runs at 0.035 inches thick with a variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern, giving it versatility across a range of material cross-sections. The tooth tips are M42 high speed steel, bonded to a spring steel back — the defining structure of a bi-metal blade built to outlast carbon-steel alternatives under continuous production use.

This blade is suited for structural steel, tubing, solid bar stock, and similar ferrous metals commonly cut in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and mechanical contractors. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which helps extend blade life and produces a cleaner kerf. The Vari-Set tooth set widens the kerf to 0.058 inches, providing adequate chip clearance and preventing blade binding. It is part of the LENOX RX Plus series, designed for production-level cutting cycles rather than occasional light use.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability under continuous use
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern reduces vibration and broadens the range of cuttable material sizes
• Vari-Set tooth set produces a 0.058-inch kerf for effective chip evacuation
• Positive tooth rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cuts through ferrous metals
• Welded construction for a consistent, balanced loop with no mechanical joint to fail mid-cut
• Part of the RX Plus series, matched to high-cycle production band saw use

Compatibility

Designed for band saws requiring a 154-inch (12 feet 10 inches) blade loop with a 1-inch blade width. Verify wheel-to-wheel blade path length, wheel width, and blade guide clearance on the specific saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following the saw manufacturer's tensioning specifications. Power down and lockout/tagout the machine before removing the old blade or threading the new one through the guides and guards. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Confirm blade tracking and guide alignment before returning the saw to service.
