Lenox 94895QPB154675 Bandsaw Blade 184in 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 94895QPB154675 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in production and fabrication environments. At 184 inches (15 feet 4 inches) long and 1-1/4 inches wide, it fits mid- to large-frame vertical and horizontal bandsaws commonly found in machine shops and metal fabrication facilities. The blade runs a variable pitch of 2 to 3 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and promotes smoother, faster cuts through a wide range of metal cross-sections. The cutting edge is ground, toothed, and variable, with a positive rake angle and a single-level set that supports aggressive stock removal while maintaining edge control.

This blade is suited for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The M42-plus material grade back is spring steel, providing flexibility and fatigue resistance through continuous bandsawing cycles. It is a practical choice for maintenance shops, metal service centers, and manufacturing operations that process a variety of workpiece materials on a single saw without frequent blade changes. The QXP series designation indicates a high-performance tooth geometry optimized for variable cross-section cutting.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and chatter across varying material thicknesses
• Ground, positive-rake tooth form supports clean, efficient cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Single-level tooth set delivers consistent kerf width of 0.070 inches throughout blade life
• Blade thickness of 0.042 inches and 1-1/4 inch width suit mid- to large-frame production bandsaws
• Compatible material applications include titanium, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and more

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for mid- to large-frame horizontal and vertical bandsaws accepting a 184-inch blade length and 1-1/4 inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the saw fully powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel diameter and blade guide clearances match the 1-1/4 inch width and 0.042 inch thickness before mounting. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, and inspect the weld joint for any cracks or irregularities before use. Break in the blade at reduced feed rate for the first several cuts to properly seat the tooth set.
