Lenox 96020QPB154725 Bandsaw Blade 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 96020QPB154725 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 15 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches wide, this blade runs on large vertical or horizontal band saws used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators. The variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch pattern reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, extending blade life and improving cut quality. The M42+ high speed steel tooth material provides heat and wear resistance across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous-duty cutting cycles.

This blade is suited for production cutting of solid bar stock, structural shapes, tubing, and plate in machine shops, metal service centers, and industrial maintenance settings. Compatible material applications include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The QXP series designation and M42+ grade make this blade particularly effective on difficult-to-cut alloys and high-hardness materials where standard bi-metal blades wear prematurely. It is sold as a single blade per package.

Key Features

• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves surface finish on a variety of cross-sections
• M42+ high speed steel teeth deliver extended edge life on hardened and abrasive alloys
• Vari-Raker tooth set with positive rake angle for aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Spring steel back construction resists fatigue and flex cracking under continuous load
• 0.080 inch kerf width minimizes material loss per cut
• Welded construction for a reliable, consistent joint at blade ends

Compatibility

Designed for use on band saws that accept a 15 feet 6 inch blade loop. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the band saw powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the blade length and width match the specific saw model's wheel diameter and guide specifications before mounting. Tension and track the blade according to the saw manufacturer's guidelines and confirm blade guides and thrust bearings are properly adjusted before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
