Lenox 94887QPB154675 Bandsaw Blade 184 in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 94887QPB154675 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in production and job-shop environments. At 184 inches (15 feet 4 inches) long and 1-1/2 inches wide, this blade runs on industrial vertical bandsaws and delivers a variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch for smooth chip evacuation and reduced vibration. The M42-plus high-speed steel tooth material provides heat and wear resistance when cutting hard alloys, stainless steel, and titanium. The spring steel back absorbs blade stress during contour changes, extending service life under continuous-duty cutting cycles. Licensed machinists, fabricators, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. It is designed for straight and structural cutting rather than contour work. The QXP series targets shops that require consistent performance across mixed material queues without changing blades between jobs. Typical applications include structural metal fabrication, tool and die shops, and general manufacturing where multiple material grades move through the saw regularly.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish on cut ends
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance through repeated flex cycles on long production runs
• Single-level tooth set and ground tooth form deliver a consistent 0.082-inch kerf width cut after cut
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive chip removal in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Factory-welded loop ships ready to install with no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement bandsaw blade for industrial vertical bandsaws that accept a 184-inch blade loop with a 1-1/2-inch width. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and maximum blade width rating on the saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with the specific saw model. Disengage power and lock out the machine at the main disconnect before opening blade guards or removing the worn blade. Confirm blade tracking and tension settings meet the saw manufacturer specifications after mounting; improper tension is a leading cause of premature blade fatigue and breakage. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
