Lenox 89464TRB195945 Bandsaw Blade 3 Tpi Carbide Tipped

Product Description

The LENOX 89464TRB195945 is a welded bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and production environments. Measuring 19 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width, this blade features a 0.035-inch thickness and a 3 TPI constant pitch. Teeth are carbide-tipped with a micrograin grade and a positive rake angle, delivering aggressive stock removal and extended edge life on hard and abrasive workpiece materials. The spring steel back provides consistent blade tension and fatigue resistance through continuous cutting cycles. This is a Tri-Master series blade from LENOX, designed for professionals who need reliable, repeatable cuts on demanding materials.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance shops. Its wide material application range covers alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The 3 TPI pitch is well-matched to thicker cross-sections and solid bar stock where chip clearance is critical. Ground tooth form and ground cutting edge style support a clean, consistent kerf with reduced heat buildup. Installation is appropriate for production bandsaws accepting a 1-inch-wide blade with a loop length of 19 feet 6 inches.

Key Features

• Carbide-tipped micrograin teeth for extended cutting life on hard metals
• 3 TPI constant pitch optimized for thick cross-sections and solid bar stock
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal and faster feed rates
• Ground tooth form and ground cutting edge for precise, consistent kerf width of 0.065 inches
• Spring steel back construction resists fatigue under continuous tension
• Straight tooth form with standard pitch pattern for predictable cutting performance

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a welded blade loop of 19 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension rating before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by qualified machine operators or maintenance technicians familiar with the specific saw model. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Follow the saw manufacturer's tension specification for 1-inch carbide-tipped blades, as overtensioning can reduce blade life and damage wheel flanges. Break in new carbide-tipped blades with reduced feed pressure for the first several cuts to seat the tooth geometry and avoid early tip fracture.
