Lenox 95448QPB134090 Bandsaw Blade 161in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 95448QPB134090 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications on stationary band saws. Measuring 161 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches in width with a 0.042-inch blade thickness, it runs a variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern that balances cut speed against surface finish across a wide range of stock thicknesses. The M42 high-speed steel tooth tips are electron-beam welded to a spring steel back, giving the blade the flexibility to resist fatigue while keeping the cutting edge hard enough for difficult alloys. It is installed by machinists, tool-room technicians, and fabrication shop personnel operating horizontal or vertical production band saws.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop environments cutting a broad spectrum 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 tooth form reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which is especially useful when transitioning between thin-wall and solid-section workpieces. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle help clear chips efficiently, keeping cut quality consistent throughout the blade life. It is packaged as a single welded loop ready to mount.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying stock cross-sections
• Positive rake angle and Vari-Raker tooth set promote aggressive chip evacuation
• 0.068-inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Broad material compatibility including titanium, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, and carbon steel
• Ships as a single factory-welded loop, no field welding required

Compatibility

Designed for stationary band saws that accept a 161-inch blade loop with a 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify your machine's wheel diameter, blade guide spacing, and maximum blade width specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified shop personnel familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before opening the blade guards or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when coiling, uncoiling, or mounting the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. After mounting, set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications and run the saw unloaded briefly to confirm stable tracking before beginning cuts.
