Lenox 95680QPB154675 Bandsaw Blade 184in 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 95680QPB154675 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and shop environments. Measuring 184 inches in overall length and 1.5 inches in width, this blade carries a variable pitch of 4 to 6 TPI using a Vari-Raker tooth set. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material delivers heat resistance and edge retention when cutting hard metals. A spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance through continuous bandsaw operation. Licensed HVAC technicians, machinists, and fabricators running vertical or horizontal band saws will find this blade sized and configured for medium-to-heavy structural and bar-stock cuts.

This blade is suited for professional metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials are processed. The variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and chatter during cutting, which is especially valuable when transitioning between stock profiles or cutting bundles. The 0.080-inch kerf width is consistent with standard bi-metal industrial blade clearances. Licensed machinists and metal fabricators are the primary installers and users of this product.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42 high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and chatter across varied stock sizes
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexion cracking under continuous bandsaw cycling
• 0.080-inch kerf width provides clean, consistent cuts with minimal material loss
• Positive tooth rake angle improves chip clearance and cutting speed on structural metals
• QXP series blade rated for alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for use with horizontal and vertical band saws accepting a 184-inch blade length and a 1.5-inch blade width. Compatible materials include alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Blade installation and tensioning should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool operator with the band saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Always verify that the blade wheels, guides, and thrust bearings are set to the correct width and tension for a 1.5-inch blade before powering the machine. Inspect blade welds and tooth set before mounting. Do not exceed the band saw manufacturer's recommended blade speed for the material being cut.
