Lenox 89906QPB165130 Bandsaw Blade 16 Ft 10 in 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 89906QPB165130 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade settings. It measures 202 inches (16 feet 10 inches) in length and 1-1/4 inches in width with a 0.042-inch blade thickness and a kerf width of 0.070 inches. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 3 to 4 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration during cuts and extending blade life across a wide range of stock thicknesses. The tooth material is M42+ high speed steel, and the back is spring steel, giving the blade both edge hardness and body flexibility under continuous feed pressure. Licensed metal fabricators, machine operators, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines in production shops, fabrication facilities, and job-site metal-cutting operations. It handles contour-free straight cuts through alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The positive rake angle and ground cutting edge make it a practical choice when cutting difficult materials like titanium or stainless that work-harden under improper feed and speed conditions. It is supplied as a single welded loop, ready to mount without field welding.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch (3 to 4 TPI) reduces vibration and improves chip clearance across varying stock thicknesses
• Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge style for smooth, accurate cuts
• Single level tooth set and positive rake angle for consistent chip formation
• 0.070-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• QXP series designation — part of LENOX high-performance metal-cutting blade line

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 1-1/4-inch wide blade in a 202-inch (16 feet 10 inches) loop length. Compatible materials include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician following the bandsaw manufacturer's service procedures. Disengage and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify wheel guides, thrust bearings, and blade tension settings match the 1-1/4-inch blade width specification before operating. Blade speed and feed rate should be set according to the material being cut to avoid work hardening or premature tooth wear.
