Lenox 28461RPB144345 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 28461RPB144345 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial service environments. At 14 feet 3 inches long and 1 inch wide, this blade is sized for large horizontal and vertical bandsaw frames. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with an M42 high-speed steel tooth edge, delivering heat and wear resistance that extends blade life under continuous-duty cutting conditions. The variable 4 to 6 TPI Vari-Set tooth pattern reduces vibration and improves chip clearance across a range of material thicknesses. The blade thickness is 0.035 inches with a kerf width of 0.058 inches.

This blade is suited for structural steel, tubing, solid bar stock, and mixed-section cuts where a constant-pitch blade would generate excessive vibration or premature wear. The RX Plus series is positioned for professional metalworking operations requiring consistent, repeatable cuts on carbon steel, alloy steel, and similar ferrous materials. Typical installers are millwrights, metal fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians working with floor-mounted or cabinet-style bandsaw equipment.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI Vari-Set tooth pattern reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality on variable cross-sections
• Positive tooth rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• 0.035-inch blade thickness with 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction provides a consistent joint for smooth tracking on bandsaw wheels
• Part of the LENOX RX Plus series, designed for extended service life in production environments

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or service blade for large-frame bandsaws accepting a 14-foot 3-inch blade length, 1-inch blade width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Verify wheel spacing, blade guides, and drive wheel diameter on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw equipment. Power down and lock out the saw before removing the existing blade or threading the new one through the guides and blade guards. Set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer specifications before running the blade under load. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades, as the edges present a laceration hazard.
