Lenox 82744GTB154725 Bandsaw Blade 186in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 82744GTB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade runs 186 inches (15 feet 6 inches) long and 1.5 inches wide with a 0.05-inch thickness and a variable-pitch tooth pattern ranging from 3 to 4 TPI. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance needed when cutting tough alloys. A positive rake angle and Vari-Set tooth set work together to reduce vibration, minimize blade deflection, and produce clean, consistent cuts across a wide range of materials. Licensed LENOX technicians and metal fabrication professionals are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is suited for vertical and horizontal band saws used in metal fabrication, maintenance shops, and industrial cutting operations. The variable pitch reduces harmonics during cutting, making it effective on both thin and thick cross-sections without changing blades. The Contestor GT series is designed for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, mold steel, nickel alloy, titanium, tool steel, and bearing steel. It is not intended for contour cutting applications. Shops processing a wide mix of ferrous and non-ferrous stock will find this blade's material range particularly practical.

Key Features

• M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and noise
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge delivers consistent kerf width of 0.082 inches
• Bi-metal construction balances blade body flexibility with tooth hardness

Compatibility

Designed for use on band saws accepting a 186-inch (15 feet 6 inches) blade length with a 1.5-inch blade width. Verify your saw's wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and blade width capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw equipment and relevant shop safety practices. Always disconnect and lock out power to the saw before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling and mounting the welded blade. Set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
