Lenox 93684RPB113505 Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft 6 in 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 93684RPB113505 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 11 feet 6 inches in total loop length and 3/4 inch in width, with a 0.035 inch body thickness and a kerf width of 0.058 inch. The cutting edge runs a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch using a Vari-Raker tooth set, which helps reduce harmonic vibration and chip loading during cuts. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are welded to a spring steel back, combining edge retention with flex resistance across the full blade loop. Licensed metalworking shops and maintenance facilities are the typical end users.

This blade is suited for horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used in cutting structural metal, tube, pipe, and solid bar stock. The variable pitch tooth form is especially effective on interrupted cuts and on materials that vary in cross-section, reducing blade chatter and improving cut finish. The RX Plus series designation indicates this is part of a catalog line intended for general-purpose to production-level metal sawing. Contour cutting is not a rated application for this blade. Installers and machine operators in fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal operations, and general metalworking trades are the primary users of this blade type.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chip packing on varied cross-sections
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggressiveness on metal stock
• 0.058 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded loop construction at 11 feet 6 inches suits a wide range of standard bandsaw frame sizes
• RX Plus series rated for general-purpose to production-level metal sawing

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws accepting an 11 foot 6 inch loop length and a 3/4 inch blade width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and manufacturer specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or metalworking technician with the bandsaw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Confirm blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing settings according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, as the teeth present a laceration hazard even when the machine is off. Do not exceed the blade speed rating for the material being cut.
