Lenox 39642CLB154675 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 39642CLB154675 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 184 inches (15 feet 4 inches) long and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a 0.042-inch blade thickness and a variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern. The M42 high speed steel tooth material delivers heat and wear resistance on tough workpieces. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles. Metalworking professionals, maintenance mechanics, and fabricators install this blade on horizontal and vertical band saws sized to accept a 184-inch loop.

This blade is suited for general-purpose and production metal cutting across a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, structural steel, tool steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form and Vari-Raker tooth set reduce vibration and harmonics, making it effective on both solid bar stock and structural profiles. It is a good fit for shops that need one blade to handle varied workpiece cross-sections without frequent blade changes.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for long blade life
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and suits a range of material thicknesses
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes consistent chip clearance and smooth cut surfaces
• 0.068-inch kerf width provides stable tracking with minimal material waste
• Positive rake angle on teeth improves cutting aggression on harder metals
• Welded loop construction ready to mount — no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed to fit band saws that accept a 184-inch (15 feet 4 inches) blade loop with a 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify your saw's wheel diameter, blade width capacity, and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or machinist. Power down and lock out the saw completely before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use heavy leather or cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade — the coiled loop can release suddenly and the teeth are sharp. Follow the saw manufacturer's tension and tracking specifications; do not over-tension, as excess tension accelerates back fatigue and bearing wear.
