Lenox 94960QPB134115 Bandsaw Blade 13ft 6in 5-8 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 94960QPB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. Measuring 13 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch wide, this blade runs on horizontal and vertical band saws sized to that wheel-to-wheel distance. The bi-metal construction pairs a spring steel back with M42-grade high speed steel teeth, delivering heat and wear resistance well beyond standard carbon-steel blades. A variable pitch of 5 to 8 TPI and a Vari-Raker tooth set reduce vibration and harmonics across a wide range of material thicknesses, producing cleaner cuts with less tooth stripping risk.

This blade is suited for straight and contour-free cuts through alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The QXP series variable tooth form and positive rake angle are particularly effective when cutting structural sections, bar stock, and tubing where wall thickness varies. A kerf width of 0.058 inches keeps material loss low in production cutting. Licensed metalworking technicians and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary installers and users of this blade.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42-grade high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for extended blade life
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and lowers the risk of tooth stripping
• Positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cutting speed in dense metals including stainless and titanium
• 0.058-inch kerf width minimizes material waste in repetitive production cuts
• Welded construction provides a consistent, factory-finished loop with no field brazing required
• QXP series design supports a broad material application range including ferrous and non-ferrous alloys

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for band saw machines with a blade path requiring a 13-foot 6-inch loop, a 1-inch blade width capacity, and a guide system compatible with 0.035-inch blade thickness.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified metalworking technician or maintenance mechanic familiar with band saw tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the band saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer specifications before making a test cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades, as the edges and teeth present a laceration hazard.
