Lenox 28690RPB154725 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 28690RPB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 186 inches in total loop length and 1.5 inches wide, this blade features a variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern that supports efficient chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses. The tooth tips are M42 high speed steel, bonded to a spring steel back for fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles. The Vari-Set tooth set and positive rake angle combine to reduce cutting forces and extend blade life. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and general fabrication shops rely on this blade format for structural steel, tubing, and solid bar stock.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 186-inch loop in 1.5-inch width. The variable pitch tooth form minimizes vibration and harmonic chatter when transitioning between varying cross-sections, making it a practical choice for production cutting of bundles, structural shapes, and solid rounds. It is part of the LENOX RX Plus series, which targets ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting in job shop and light industrial settings. The Milled, Toothed, Variable cutting edge style supports consistent kerf geometry throughout the blade life.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel tooth tips bonded to a spring steel back
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves chip flow across material thickness changes
• Vari-Set tooth set pattern minimizes blade deflection and extends service life
• Positive rake angle lowers cutting resistance on ferrous and non-ferrous stock
• Kerf width of 0.08 inches supports predictable material removal and tight dimensional tolerances
• Part of the LENOX RX Plus series for production-grade metal bandsawing

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded loop blade for bandsaw machines configured to accept a 186-inch blade length and 1.5-inch blade width. Verify wheel span, blade guide clearance, and tension rating on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out all power to the machine before removing the existing blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade. Set blade tension and tracking per the machine manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
