Lenox 94804QPB134115 Bandsaw Blade 162 in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 94804QPB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications in production and fabrication environments. The blade runs 162 inches in total length and measures 1-1/4 inches wide by 0.042 inches thick. It is built to the QXP series specification with an M42-plus material grade, combining a spring steel back with a high speed steel tooth edge for extended blade life under heavy use. Variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip evacuation across a range of material thicknesses. Ground, toothed cutting edges with a positive rake angle and single level tooth set deliver consistent, accurate cuts. This blade is installed by metalworking fabricators and industrial maintenance technicians on vertical or horizontal band saws.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of metals including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch design makes it particularly effective when cutting irregular sections, tubing, or mixed cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter or stall. It is intended for professional shop environments where blade longevity and cut quality are critical factors in throughput.

Key Features

• M42-plus high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard and abrasion-resistant alloys
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance over continuous cycling
• Ground tooth edges with positive rake angle for aggressive, clean chip removal
• Single level tooth set controls kerf width to 0.0700 inches for consistent accuracy
• Contour cutting is not supported — blade is engineered for straight cuts

Compatibility

Designed for use on band saws accepting a 162-inch welded blade loop, 1-1/4 inches wide and 0.042 inches thick, cutting carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide spacing are compatible with the 1-1/4-inch blade width before installation. Set blade tension and guide clearance according to the band saw manufacturer specifications. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled blades.
