Lenox 89487QPB206250 Bandsaw Blade 3 to 4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 89487QPB206250 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 246 inches (20 feet 6 inches) in length and 1.5 inches in width, this blade runs a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI with a positive rake angle and a ground, toothed cutting edge. The M42-plus high speed steel tooth material delivers hardness and heat resistance needed when cutting tough alloys, stainless steel, and titanium. Blade thickness is 0.05 inches with a kerf width of 0.082 inches. It is installed and serviced by millwrights, tool room machinists, and metal fabrication technicians.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines that accept a 246-inch blade length with a 1.5-inch blade width. The variable pitch tooth form reduces vibration and harmonics during cuts, making it appropriate for interrupted cuts, varying cross-sections, and mixed-material workloads. Confirmed material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, and titanium. Contour cutting is not an intended use for this blade configuration.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and noise across a wide range of material cross-sections
• Positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cutting aggression on dense metals
• Ground cutting edge delivers consistent tooth geometry for repeatable, accurate cuts
• Single level set tooth geometry maintains a 0.082-inch kerf width for predictable material removal
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready to install directly onto compatible bandsaw machines

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a 246-inch loop length and a 1.5-inch blade width. Confirmed compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, and titanium. Contour cutting is not supported by this blade.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or millwright with the bandsaw fully de-energized and locked out per applicable LOTO procedures before blade removal or installation. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade tension specifications on the host machine before mounting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Do not exceed the machine manufacturer's rated blade speed for the installed blade width and tooth pitch.
