Lenox 95647QPB134115 Bandsaw Blade 162 in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 95647QPB134115 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade designed for demanding metal-cutting applications on horizontal and vertical band saws. Measuring 162 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches wide at 0.05 inches thick, this blade runs a variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch from the QXP series. The M42+ high speed steel tooth material and positive rake angle are engineered to handle hard, abrasion-resistant metals with reduced heat buildup. The ground, variable cutting edge provides a smooth entry and consistent finish across a wide range of workpiece materials. Blade techs and metalworking shops rely on this configuration for production-volume sawing where blade life and cut quality are both priorities.

This blade is suited for industrial and commercial metalworking environments where a powered band saw processes solid bar stock, structural sections, tubing, or plate. It is appropriate for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, which is especially useful when transitioning between varying cross-section geometries. Licensed metalworking technicians and fabrication professionals are the primary installers and users of this blade type.

Key Features

• M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and exotic alloys
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch reduces vibration and noise during the cut
• Positive rake angle improves chip evacuation and cutting efficiency
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous operation
• Single level tooth set with ground cutting edge delivers consistent kerf width of 0.082 inches
• QXP series construction rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, and non-ferrous materials

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws that accept a 162-inch loop blade with a 1-1/2-inch blade width. Verify wheel diameter, blade guide clearance, and tension capacity on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with band saw tensioning procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard. Confirm proper blade tension and tracking adjustment before returning the machine to service, following the saw manufacturer's specifications.
