Lenox 28463RPB134040 Bandsaw Blade 159in 1in 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 28463RPB134040 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 159 inches (13 feet 3 inches) in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch blade thickness, it fits mid-to-large vertical and horizontal band saws commonly used in metal shops and pipe-fitting operations. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, improving surface finish and extending blade life. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material provides heat resistance and edge retention when cutting tough alloys, stainless, and structural steel. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and metal fabricators are the primary installers and operators of this blade.

This blade is suited for contour-free, straight metal cutting tasks where consistent chip load and blade stability are critical. The RX Plus series variable-pitch geometry and Vari-Set tooth set are optimized for cutting a range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock, including solid bar, tubing, and structural shapes. The spring steel back resists fatigue under continuous tension cycling, making it appropriate for high-production environments where blades run for extended shifts. It ships as a single welded loop, ready to mount without additional joining.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for fatigue resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut finish
• 0.035-inch blade thickness and 0.058-inch kerf width minimize material loss per cut
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Pre-welded loop construction allows direct installation with no field joining required
• RX Plus series design targets extended blade life on tough ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount welded bandsaw blade for mid-to-large band saw machines that accept a 159-inch (13 feet 3 inches) loop, 1-inch blade width, and 0.035-inch blade thickness. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension capacity against the saw manufacturer specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or fabricator familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the band saw at the disconnect before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer guidelines before making any cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during mounting.
