Lenox 92888QPB113430 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 92888QPB113430 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 11 feet 3 inches in length, 1 inch wide, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI. The blade features a high-speed steel M42+ tooth edge bonded to a spring steel back, delivering both cutting performance and fatigue resistance during extended use. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle work together to reduce vibration and improve chip evacuation across a wide range of material thicknesses. Licensed metalworking technicians and fabrication shops rely on this blade for production bandsaw work.

This blade is suited for vertical and horizontal band saws in industrial, fabrication, and machine shop environments. The variable pitch design handles structural shapes, solid bar stock, bundles, and tubing without constant blade changes. It cuts alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The QXP series designation indicates it is built for general-purpose to high-production metal cutting where consistent kerf quality and blade life are priorities.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42+ high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves chip clearance
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Kerf width of 0.058 inches delivers consistent, clean cuts with minimal material waste
• Welded blade construction for continuous-loop operation on standard bandsaw equipment
• Broad material compatibility including stainless steel, titanium, tool steel, and aluminum

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-stock welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting band saws accepting a 1-inch-wide blade in the 11-foot 3-inch loop length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with bandsaw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Follow the saw manufacturer's specifications for blade tension, wheel tracking, and guide adjustment. Inspect blade guides and wheel tires for wear before installing a new blade to avoid premature edge damage.
