Lenox 93553RPB154725 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 93553RPB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. Part of the RX Plus series, it measures 15 feet 6 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick. The blade pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth, delivering the hardness and heat resistance required when cutting through structural steel, pipe, and mixed-material workpieces. A variable pitch tooth form with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and produces a cleaner kerf. Metalworking tradespeople and fabrication shops running vertical or horizontal bandsaws install this blade for production and maintenance cutting alike.

This blade is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting on industrial and commercial bandsaw equipment. The 5 to 8 TPI variable pitch range makes it effective across a variety of cross-sections, from thin-wall tubing to solid bar stock. The positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and cutting speed. With a kerf width of 0.0580 inches, material loss per cut is minimized, which matters when working with costly stock. It is intended for straight and contour-capable bandsaw frames that accept a 1-inch wide blade in the 15-foot 6-inch loop length.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth for extended wear life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI reduces vibration and chatter across varying cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip removal and consistent cut quality
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over continuous use
• Positive rake angle improves cutting speed and reduces heat buildup at the tooth tip
• Kerf width of 0.0580 inches minimizes material waste per cut

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a 1-inch wide blade with a loop length of 15 feet 6 inches. Verify your saw's wheel diameter and blade guide specifications before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or machinist. Power down and lockout the bandsaw at the disconnect before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Follow the saw manufacturer's tensioning specifications for a 1-inch wide bi-metal blade — do not use hand-feel estimates in place of a tensioning gauge. Inspect blade guides, blade guides, wheel tires, and welds before initial run-in at reduced feed rate.
