Lenox 89807QPB144420 Bandsaw Blade 174 in 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 89807QPB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications on vertical or horizontal band saws. Measuring 174 inches in overall length and 1-1/4 inches wide, this blade runs at a variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch pattern designed to reduce vibration and improve chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses. The cutting teeth are ground High Speed Steel with an M42+ material grade, delivering extended edge life on tough alloys. A spring steel back provides fatigue resistance during continuous cutting cycles. This blade is installed by metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance trades operating production or job-site band saws.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch tooth form and positive rake angle help manage heat buildup and burr formation when transitioning between solid bar stock and structural profiles. It is appropriate for both light production runs and intermittent heavy fabrication work where a single blade must handle multiple material types without a tool change.

Key Features

• M42+ High Speed Steel teeth with ground tooth form for extended cutting life on hard alloys
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip flow
• Single level set tooth geometry maintains consistent kerf width of 0.0700 inches
• Spring steel back construction resists fatigue cracking under continuous band saw tension
• Positive rake angle improves aggression on non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and titanium
• QXP series bi-metal construction bonds HSS teeth to a flexible spring steel backer for durability

Compatibility

Designed as a welded-loop replacement blade for band saws accepting a 174-inch blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify blade length, width, and tooth pitch specifications against your machine's requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or maintenance professional familiar with band saw tensioning procedures. Disconnect and lock out all power to the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and mounting. Follow the machine manufacturer's tensioning and tracking specifications; incorrect tension can cause premature blade fatigue or tooth strippage.
