Lenox 95485QPB144420 Bandsaw Blade 174 in 3-4 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 95485QPB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and fabrication environments. The blade measures 174 inches in total length and 1-1/4 inches in width, with a 0.042-inch body thickness and a kerf width of 0.070 inches. A variable pitch tooth form in the 3 to 4 TPI range reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, extending blade life and improving surface finish. The M42 high speed steel tooth material provides superior heat and wear resistance when cutting hard or abrasive stock. Licensed HVAC techs, machinists, pipefitters, and fabricators running vertical or horizontal band saws will find this blade suited to high-production cutting cycles.

This blade is designed for metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 174-inch blade in 1-1/4-inch width. It handles a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The single-level tooth set and positive rake angle make it effective across light structural and heavy barstock profiles. It is a practical choice for job shops, maintenance facilities, and production lines that need consistent cut quality across mixed material inventories without frequent blade changes.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard materials
• Variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and noise during cutting
• Positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency
• Single-level tooth set with ground, toothed cutting edge for consistent kerf geometry
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over continuous use
• Suitable for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and other metals in a single blade

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting band saws accepting a 174-inch blade length and 1-1/4-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation of bandsaw blades should be performed by qualified service personnel with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify wheel tracking, blade guides, and blade tension settings before resuming operation, following the saw manufacturer specifications. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling uncoiled or unwelded blades. Inspect welds for straightness and seam integrity before installing the blade.
