Lenox 93080RPB144345 Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 93080RPB144345 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and commercial shop environments. Stretching 171 inches in total length with a 1-1/4 inch width and 0.042 inch body thickness, this blade is engineered for high-cycle use on horizontal and vertical band saws. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with fatigue resistance. The variable 5 to 8 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces harmonics and vibration during the cut, producing a cleaner kerf and longer blade life on a range of stock profiles and cross-sections.

This blade is suited for production cutting of solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch tooth form excels when cutting mixed-section workpieces where a fixed TPI would chatter or load the gullets unevenly. The RX Plus series is a common choice for job shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance departments running horizontal miter saws or vertical contour machines that accept a 1-1/4 inch wide blade. Contour cutting is not a rated application for this blade.

Key Features

• M42 bi-metal construction: high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set minimizes vibration and chip loading across varied stock sizes
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting action on metals
• 0.068 inch kerf width delivers consistent, repeatable cuts with minimal material loss
• 171 inch welded loop length fits a wide range of industrial band saw frames
• RX Plus series designation indicates suitability for high-production metal cutting cycles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade blade for industrial band saws accepting a 1-1/4 inch wide by 171 inch length blade. Verify your machine's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the existing blade or mounting this one. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended blade tension settings for a 1-1/4 inch bi-metal blade — do not estimate tension by hand deflection alone, as under- or over-tensioning significantly affects blade life. Allow new blades a brief break-in period at reduced feed pressure before running full production rates.
