Lenox 89436QPB123660 Welded Bandsaw Blade 12 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 89436QPB123660 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 12 feet in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness, with a variable pitch of 3 to 4 teeth per inch (TPI). The M42+ high speed steel tooth material and positive rake angle work together to deliver aggressive, efficient cutting with extended tooth life. This blade suits metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade contractors who run vertical or horizontal band saws and need consistent performance across a range of material types.

This blade is designed for contour-free straight cutting across a broad spectrum of metals, including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The QXP series variable pitch tooth form minimizes vibration and reduces noise during the cut, making it a practical choice for high-production environments where operator fatigue and surface finish quality both matter. It is sold individually as a single welded loop ready for immediate installation.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on tough metals
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves cut quality
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal and faster feed rates
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over long run times
• Ground, toothed cutting edge with single level set for consistent kerf control
• Kerf width of 0.0600 inches minimizes material loss per cut

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement bandsaw blade for 12-foot band saw machines capable of accepting a 1-inch-wide blade. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the saw completely before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use appropriate blade guides and confirm proper tension per the saw manufacturer's specifications before running the machine. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade.
