Lenox 93664RPB103175 Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 93664RPB103175 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 10 feet 5 inches in length and 3/4 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch thickness and a variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI. The blade pairs a spring steel back with M42 high speed steel teeth set in a Vari-Raker pattern, delivering consistent chip clearance and reduced vibration across varying material cross-sections. It belongs to the LENOX RX Plus series and is intended for installation by professional metalworking technicians, fabricators, and maintenance machinists working with horizontal or vertical band saws in shop or industrial environments.

This blade is suited for cutting solid metal stock, structural shapes, and tubing where variable pitch geometry helps minimize harmonics and blade chatter. The M42 tooth grade provides heat resistance for cutting alloy steels, stainless steel, and other difficult materials at moderate feed rates. The toothed, milled cutting edge with a positive rake angle supports clean entry and efficient chip formation. It is a standard replacement or service blade for stationary band saws sized to accept a 10 feet 5 inch loop.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: spring steel back bonded with M42 high speed steel teeth for long tooth life
• Variable pitch 5 to 8 TPI with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves cut quality on varying cross-sections
• Positive rake angle supports faster, more efficient chip removal
• 0.0580-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded loop construction for consistent tension and tracking on the saw wheel
• RX Plus series designation indicating a reinforced tooth geometry for extended service intervals

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for stationary band saws requiring a 10 feet 5 inch bi-metal blade with a 3/4-inch width. Confirm wheel spacing and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with band saw tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lockout the saw completely before removing the old blade or threading the new one. Verify correct blade tension per the saw manufacturer's specification and confirm blade tracking is centered on the wheel crown before resuming cuts. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and mounting.
