Lenox 92046QPB154570 Bandsaw Blade 15 Ft 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 92046QPB154570 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications. Measuring 15 feet in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42+ high speed steel teeth. The variable-pitch tooth form runs at 4 to 6 TPI, reducing harmonic vibration and improving cut finish on a wide range of metal stock. The Vari-Raker tooth set controls chip flow and maintains consistent cutting performance through varying cross-sections. It is suited for professional metalworking shops and maintenance facilities where blade life and cut quality on hard materials are priorities.

This blade is intended for stationary vertical or horizontal bandsaws that accept a 15-foot blade with 1-1/4-inch width. The variable pitch and positive rake angle make it effective across multiple material types in a single shop environment where operators switch between stock profiles and alloy grades. It is installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics operating industrial or semi-industrial bandsaw equipment.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Positive rake angle supports aggressive, consistent feed rates
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance
• 0.0680-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut

Compatibility

Compatible with bandsaw machines that accept a 15-foot welded blade, 1-1/4 inches wide. Rated for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and wheel tracking according to the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled bandsaw blades. Inspect blade guides and thrust bearings for wear before mounting a new blade.
