Lenox 94625QPB154650 Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 94625QPB154650 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for professional metalcutting applications. Measuring 183 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in width, this blade carries a variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern that balances cut speed with surface finish across a wide range of material thicknesses. The blade body is spring steel backed, while the tooth edge is tipped with M42+ grade high speed steel for extended edge life in demanding production environments. A Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle reduce cutting forces and help clear chips efficiently. This blade is installed and serviced by machinists and fabricators running industrial or heavy-duty horizontal and vertical bandsaws.

This blade is suited for shops cutting structural metals, plate stock, tubing, and solid bar in both production and job-shop settings. Its material compatibility covers a broad spectrum including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch tooth form reduces vibration and harmonic noise during cutting, making it a practical choice for interrupted cuts and varied cross-sections common in fabrication work. It is sold as a single blade with no minimum order requirement beyond one unit.

Key Features

• M42+ grade high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and suits varied material cross-sections
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip clearance and consistent feed
• Positive rake angle lowers cutting resistance across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• QXP series construction welded to 183 inches for a seamless, ready-to-install loop

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock blade for industrial horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines accepting a 1-1/2 inch wide blade with a 183-inch loop length. Confirm wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tensioning range on the host saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout-tagout procedures. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the spring steel body can snap back unexpectedly during uncoiling. Verify blade tension with the saw manufacturer's specified gauge or indicator before the first cut. Blade tracking and guide bearing clearance should be inspected and adjusted after installing any replacement blade.
