Lenox 93652RPB134040 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 93652RPB134040 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade shop environments. Part of the RX Plus series, it measures 13 feet 3 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches thick, with a variable 5 to 8 TPI tooth pattern that helps reduce vibration and improve cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips bonded to a spring steel back deliver durability under continuous use. Licensed metalworking technicians, millwrights, and fabricators are the primary installers and operators of this blade.

This blade is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where contour-free, straight cutting of solid stock, structural shapes, and tubing is performed on horizontal or vertical band saws. The variable pitch tooth pattern is particularly effective when cutting materials that vary in cross-section, minimizing blade chatter and extending blade life compared to constant-pitch designs. It is sized for band saw machines that accept a 13 feet 3 inch loop with a 1-inch blade track.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel tooth tips for extended cutting life on tough metals
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish
• Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote aggressive, efficient chip evacuation
• Spring steel back for flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous band saw operation
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded loop construction — no mechanical joint that could fail mid-cut

Compatibility

Designed for band saw machines that accept a 13 feet 3 inch blade loop, 1 inch wide, 0.035 inches thick. Verify your machine's blade length specification, wheel diameter, and guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the band saw manufacturer's safety procedures — always disconnect and lock out power before changing blades. Confirm proper blade tension using the machine's built-in tension gauge or a calibrated tensioning tool appropriate for a 1-inch bi-metal blade. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel alignment before starting a cut. Personal protective equipment including cut-resistant gloves and eye protection is required during handling and installation.
