Lenox 95949QPB175285 Bandsaw Blade 208in 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 95949QPB175285 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in production and job-shop environments. Measuring 208 inches (17 feet 4 inches) in length and 1-1/2 inches wide with a 0.05 inch body thickness, this blade runs on large vertical or horizontal band saws. The M42 high speed steel tooth tips are welded to a spring steel back, combining edge hardness with fatigue resistance across the full length of the blade. A variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration and improves chip evacuation when cutting solid bar, structural sections, or bundles of material.

This blade is suited to professional metal-cutting operations where a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous stock is processed on the same machine. The 1-1/2 inch width provides lateral rigidity for straight cuts through thick cross-sections. A positive rake angle and ground variable tooth form support consistent feed rates across alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, and titanium workpieces. The single level set delivers a kerf width of 0.082 inches, leaving a predictable cut path with minimal material loss.

Key Features

• M42 high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for toughness and edge retention
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch reduces vibration and chatter during cuts
• Positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Ground tooth form provides consistent tooth geometry across the blade length
• Single level set produces a 0.082 inch kerf for predictable material removal
• Compatible material applications include alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and more

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or production-stock welded bandsaw blade for large-frame horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws that accept a 1-1/2 inch wide blade in a 208 inch (17 feet 4 inch) loop length. Confirm wheel diameter and blade-path geometry on the host machine before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with industrial band saw equipment. Power down and lock out the machine before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Use proper blade-handling gloves — the full-length coil is under spring tension and presents a laceration hazard when uncoiled. Set blade tension and tracking per the band saw manufacturer specifications before test-running without stock.
