Lenox 94342QPB123760 Bandsaw Blade 148in 1in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 94342QPB123760 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 148 inches (12 feet 4 inches) in length and 1 inch in width, with a thickness of 0.035 inches and a kerf width of 0.058 inches. It features a variable 4 to 6 teeth per inch (TPI) pitch pattern with a Vari-Raker tooth set and a positive rake angle. The tooth material is M42-grade high speed steel bonded to a spring steel back, a construction that delivers both edge retention and fatigue resistance. This blade is sold individually and is installed by machinists, fabricators, and tool room technicians.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting across a wide range of metals in production and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) settings. The variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, which is especially useful when cutting solid bar stock, structural shapes, and tubing. Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The QXP series designation indicates it is positioned for high-alloy and difficult-to-machine material applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42-grade high speed steel teeth on a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting in dense metals
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals
• Welded construction provides a continuous, seam-consistent blade loop

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or upgrade blade for vertical or horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 148-inch blade with a 1-inch width. Confirm machine blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified technician following the machine manufacturer's service procedures. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the bandsaw before removing the guard or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blade stock. After installation, verify blade tension, tracking, and guide-bearing clearance before returning the machine to service.
