Lenox 95654QPB144345 Bandsaw Blade 171in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 95654QPB144345 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in professional shop and industrial environments. Measuring 171 inches (14 feet 3 inches) in total loop length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch body thickness, this blade runs on floor-standing vertical bandsaws used by machinists, fabricators, and toolroom technicians. The variable-pitch tooth form at 4 to 6 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during cuts, while the M42+ high-speed steel tooth material provides extended edge life when cutting hard alloys. The spring steel back delivers flexibility and fatigue resistance across long production runs.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting of a wide range of metallic workpiece materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. It is a strong fit for shops running production cuts on structural sections, bar stock, and plate where consistent tooth life and chip control are priorities. The Vari-Raker tooth set pattern and positive rake angle promote aggressive feed rates while managing heat buildup in the cut zone.

Key Features

• M42+ high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life in hard and abrasive metals
• Variable pitch (4 to 6 TPI) reduces blade vibration and chatter during the cut
• Vari-Raker tooth set promotes efficient chip evacuation and consistent kerf control
• Spring steel back construction resists fatigue and flexural cracking over long service cycles
• 0.068-inch kerf width minimizes material loss on high-value workpieces
• Positive rake angle supports aggressive feed rates across a broad material range

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded replacement blade for floor-standing vertical bandsaws that accept a 171-inch loop length and 1-1/4-inch blade width. Verify your saw's blade length specification and wheel-to-wheel center distance before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or shop technician familiar with the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before opening the blade guards or handling the blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when uncoiling and mounting the blade. Set blade tension and tracking per the saw manufacturer's specifications before making any test cuts.
