Lenox 89432QPB154725 Bandsaw Blade 15.5 Ft 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 89432QPB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for continuous-duty cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws. Measuring 186 inches in total length and 1-1/2 inches wide with a 0.05-inch body thickness, this blade fits standard vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines used in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The blade features a variable pitch tooth form ranging from 3 to 4 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip evacuation across varying cross-sections. The M42-plus high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, providing heat and wear resistance during extended cuts through hard or abrasive stock.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is intended for professional use in job shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments where material variety demands a blade that transitions smoothly between workpiece hardness levels. The variable pitch design makes it especially effective on structural shapes, solids, and bundled stock where a fixed-pitch blade would tend to chatter or load up.

Key Features

• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and improves cut quality on mixed cross-sections
• M42-plus high speed steel tooth tips for extended edge life on hard and abrasive materials
• Spring steel back provides flex fatigue resistance during continuous bandsaw operation
• Single level tooth set with ground cutting edge for consistent kerf and surface finish
• 0.082-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip formation for faster feed rates
• Welded construction delivers a uniform joint for smooth blade tracking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 186-inch loop length and 1-1/2-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and de-energize the bandsaw and release blade tension before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use appropriate blade guides and set blade tension per the machine manufacturer's specification before making a test cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or looped blades.
