Lenox 95653QPB113355 Welded Bandsaw Blade 11 Ft Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 95653QPB113355 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for demanding metal-cutting applications in production and fabrication environments. Measuring 11 feet in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, it operates at a variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch pattern. The tooth edge is constructed from M42-grade high speed steel, which is bonded to a spring steel back for resilience under load. A positive rake angle and Vari-Raker tooth set combine to reduce vibration, improve chip clearance, and extend blade life across a wide range of material types. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and metal fabricators are the primary users.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight and structural metal cutting on horizontal and vertical bandsaws sized for 11-foot blades. Verified material applications include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium. The variable pitch design makes it effective on both thin-walled sections and solid stock, reducing harmonics when cutting interrupted or variable cross-sections. It is used in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production cutting operations where a single blade must handle multiple material grades.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42-grade high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 5 to 8 TPI pitch with Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting across multiple material grades
• 0.058-inch kerf width for controlled material removal and minimal waste
• Welded construction provides a continuous, seamless loop ready for immediate installation
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, tool steel, and additional non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal and vertical bandsaws that accept an 11-foot welded blade loop measuring 1 inch wide and 0.035 inches thick. Verify your saw's blade capacity and wheel spacing before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with blade tensioning procedures. Disconnect and lock out electrical power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing a new one. Confirm proper blade tracking, tension, and guide bearing clearance before resuming cutting operations. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
