Lenox 93618RPB113505 Bi-metal Bandsaw Blade 11.5 Ft

Product Description

The LENOX 93618RPB113505 is a bi-metal welded bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional fabrication and maintenance environments. Measuring 11 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide at 0.042 inches thick, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form runs at 5 to 8 TPI with a vari-raker tooth set, reducing vibration and extending blade life during cuts through varying material cross-sections. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors as well as metal fabricators rely on this blade for accurate, efficient cuts in production or field service settings.

This blade is part of the LENOX RX Plus series and is intended for use on bandsaw machines accepting an 11-foot 6-inch blade length. The variable pitch design makes it well suited for structural shapes, tubing, solids, and bundled stock where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or load up. It is a straight-weld blade, not contour-capable, so it is appropriate for straight or mildly curved cuts on a horizontal or vertical metal-cutting bandsaw. Trade professionals in mechanical contracting, pipe fabrication, and general metalworking shops are the primary users.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible spring steel back for durability and fatigue resistance
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI with vari-raker tooth set reduces vibration and chip loading across varied stock sizes
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 0.068-inch kerf width delivers clean cuts with minimal material loss
• RX Plus series designation indicates a performance-tier blade suitable for high-cycle production use
• Welded construction provides consistent tension and straight tracking on compatible bandsaw frames

Compatibility

Designed for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a blade length of 11 feet 6 inches and a blade width of 1-1/4 inches. Confirm your saw manufacturer's specified blade length, width, and thickness tolerances before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with the saw manufacturer's tensioning and blade-tracking procedures. Always power down and lock out the bandsaw before removing or installing a blade. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, and verify wheel guides and thrust bearings are properly adjusted after seating the new blade. Do not exceed the blade speed ratings appropriate for the material being cut.
