Lenox 93669RPB154725 Bandsaw Blade 186in 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 93669RPB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop environments. Measuring 186 inches long and 1.25 inches wide with a 0.042-inch back thickness, this blade is part of the LENOX RX Plus series. The tooth material is M42 High Speed Steel, offering superior heat and wear resistance at high cutting rates. The variable 5-8 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, extends blade life, and produces a cleaner kerf. A positive rake angle on each tooth aids aggressive stock removal. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is intended for vertical or horizontal band saws with the correct 186-inch wheel-path length, typically found in industrial and commercial shop settings. It is suited for cutting carbon steel, alloy steel, and other ferrous metals where a variable-pitch bi-metal blade is the specified tool. The 1.25-inch width supports straight and mildly contoured cuts but is not rated for contour cutting per the manufacturer specifications. It is sold as a single welded blade ready to mount without field splicing.

Key Features

• M42 High Speed Steel teeth for extended cutting life in ferrous and alloy materials
• Variable 5-8 TPI pitch reduces vibration and chatter during the cut
• Vari-Raker tooth set distributes cutting load evenly across the blade width
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient stock removal
• Spring steel back for fatigue resistance through repeated flexing over band saw wheels
• 0.0680-inch kerf width delivers precise, material-efficient cuts
• Factory-welded loop — no field splicing required

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or maintenance blade for band saws with a 186-inch wheel-path circumference and a blade guide system that accommodates a 1.25-inch wide blade. Verify wheel-path length and guide width on the saw before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance mechanic familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before opening the wheel guards or handling the blade. Set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer specifications before making any cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled or uncoiled blade, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard.
