Lenox 89590QPB154570 Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 1-1/4 in 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 89590QPB154570 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial maintenance environments. The blade measures 15 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch body thickness. Variable pitch tooth geometry at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and improves chip evacuation across a wide range of material cross-sections. The M42+ high speed steel tooth tips and spring steel back deliver the hardness needed to cut through abrasive and difficult-to-machine alloys without premature tooth wear. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians handling production bandsaw work are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is designed for production bandsaws cutting a broad range of metals. Rated material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The QXP series variable pitch design handles both thin-section and thick-section cuts, making it practical for shops that run mixed work rather than dedicated single-material operations. The single level tooth set and ground tooth form contribute to consistent cut quality and reduced burring on finished workpieces.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch at 2 to 3 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip clearance on varied cross-sections
• Ground tooth form with positive rake angle for aggressive, clean cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Single level tooth set with a kerf width of 0.0700 inches for controlled material removal
• 15-foot welded blade length fits a wide range of production bandsaw frames
• Contour cutting not intended for this blade; designed for straight production cutting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for production bandsaws accepting a 15-foot by 1-1/4-inch blade with variable pitch bi-metal configuration. Verify your saw manufacturer's specified blade length, width, and thickness before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific saw model and its blade tensioning system. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or fitting the new one. Use appropriate blade handling gloves — bandsaw blades store spring tension and can uncoil rapidly. Follow the saw manufacturer's tensioning and blade-guide specifications; do not over-tension or under-tension the blade, as either condition accelerates premature fatigue failure.
