Lenox 94598QPB165080 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 94598QPB165080 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding cutting applications in metal fabrication and industrial environments. Measuring 200 inches (16 feet 8 inches) in length and 1-1/2 inches in width, it runs a variable 2 to 3 TPI tooth pattern that balances chip clearance with cut quality across a wide range of material thicknesses. The blade body is spring steel with M42+ high speed steel teeth, a grade known for its cobalt content and heat resistance during aggressive cuts. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die shops, and metal fabrication professionals are the primary installers and operators of this blade.

This blade is part of the LENOX QXP series and is designed for vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 1-1/2 inch wide blade. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonic vibration and delivers smoother surface finishes on structural shapes, solid bar stock, and tubing. It handles a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The positive rake angle on the teeth promotes aggressive, efficient cutting with reduced feed force.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: spring steel back bonded with M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended blade life
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI tooth pitch reduces vibration and improves cut surface quality
• Positive rake angle promotes faster, more efficient metal removal
• Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge style for consistent tooth geometry along the full blade length
• Single level tooth set and 0.0820 inch kerf width for predictable, repeatable cuts
• Suitable for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for vertical and horizontal bandsaws that accept a 1-1/2 inch wide welded blade at 200 inches (16 feet 8 inches) in length. Verify your machine's blade length specification and wheel diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with bandsaw equipment and blade tensioning procedures. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or fitting the new one. Set blade tension and tracking according to the bandsaw manufacturer's specifications before running the blade under load. Inspect blade welds and teeth for damage before each use and replace the blade at the first sign of cracking, tooth stripping, or weld fatigue.
