Lenox 94888QPB237190 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2x3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 94888QPB237190 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications on horizontal and vertical band saws. It measures 23 feet 7 inches in overall length and 2 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.063 inches and a kerf width of 0.095 inches. The blade features a variable-pitch tooth form at 2 to 3 TPI, which helps reduce harmonic vibration and improves cut quality across a range of material thicknesses. The M42-plus high speed steel tooth tips are ground for a precise cutting edge and supported by a spring steel backer for fatigue resistance. This is a stock blade for professional metal fabricators and saw maintenance technicians.

This blade is suited for production and structural metal cutting in fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance facilities. The variable pitch and positive rake angle make it effective across a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. It is designed for use in applications where a single-level tooth set and contour-free straight cutting are required. The QXP series designation indicates a high-performance tier within the LENOX welded blade lineup.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high speed steel teeth for extended tooth life on hard materials
• Variable pitch at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and improves surface finish on varying cross-sections
• Ground tooth edge provides consistent, precise cutting geometry out of the package
• Spring steel back for flex fatigue resistance during continuous production cutting
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Single-level tooth set delivers uniform kerf width of 0.095 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style welded replacement blade for band saws accepting a 23-foot 7-inch loop length and a 2-inch blade width. Confirmed material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Band saw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify the blade loop length, width, and thickness are within the machine manufacturer's specifications before mounting. Use proper blade guides and tension settings per the saw manufacturer's recommendations — incorrect tension is a leading cause of premature blade fatigue and breakage. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during uncoiling and threading.
