Lenox 94205QPB144420 Bandsaw Blade 14.5 Ft 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 94205QPB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. Measuring 14 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch back thickness, this blade runs on vertical or horizontal band saws configured for that loop size. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and heat buildup during cuts, which extends blade life and improves cut quality across a wide range of stock cross-sections. The M42+ high-speed steel tooth material provides superior edge retention when cutting hard and abrasive metals.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop use on metal-cutting band saws handling structural shapes, solid bar stock, tubing, and plate. The variable pitch tooth form and Vari-Raker tooth set make it effective on both thin-wall and thick-section workpieces without changing blades. Material compatibility spans alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium, covering the range of stock commonly found in machining, tooling, and fabrication shops.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flexibility and tooth hardness
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and noise during the cut
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes chip clearance and consistent feed across mixed stock profiles
• Positive rake angle increases cutting aggression on tough metals including titanium and stainless steel
• 0.068-inch kerf width provides predictable material removal and dimensional accuracy
• Welded loop construction — no mechanical joint to cause stress risers or tracking issues

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or standard-stock blade for metal-cutting band saws requiring a 14-foot 6-inch loop, 1-1/4-inch blade width, and 0.042-inch back thickness. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and blade width capacity against your saw specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician following the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Power down and lock out the band saw before removing the existing blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade — the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and mounting. Confirm proper blade tension per the saw manufacturer's specification before test-running; incorrect tension is a leading cause of premature blade fatigue and breakage.
