Lenox 93743RPB134090 Welded Bandsaw Blade 5-8 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 93743RPB134090 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications. It measures 13 feet 5 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide, with a blade thickness of 0.042 inches and a kerf width of 0.068 inches. The cutting edge runs a variable 5 to 8 teeth per inch (TPI) with a vari-raker tooth set and positive rake angle, which supports efficient chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel bonded to a spring steel back, a construction typical of the RX Plus series. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, plumbers, and metalworking trades use blades of this type on vertical or horizontal band saws to cut structural steel, tubing, and bar stock.

This blade is suited for professional shop and field cutting environments where variable-pitch blades reduce harmonic vibration and improve cut quality on mixed cross-sections. The 13-foot 5-inch welded loop fits band saw machines with a matching wheel circumference and blade guide clearance for 1-1/4 inch wide stock. The variable pitch pattern makes it particularly effective when cutting bundles, irregular shapes, or varying wall thicknesses in a single pass. No contour cutting is specified for this blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI with vari-raker tooth set reduces vibration on mixed material cross-sections
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting in ferrous metals and structural stock
• Kerf width of 0.068 inches minimizes material waste per cut
• Welded blade loop in 13 feet 5 inches length fits standard mid-size horizontal and vertical band saws
• RX Plus series construction designed for extended blade life in high-demand production cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade replacement for band saw machines requiring a 13-foot 5-inch loop, 1-1/4 inch blade width, and 0.042 inch blade thickness. Verify wheel spacing, blade guide clearance, and drive tension specifications on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw machinery. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade. Confirm blade tension, tracking, and guide bearing alignment according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before resuming operation.
