Lenox 96040QPB165080 Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 96040QPB165080 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade from the QXP series, engineered for high-performance cutting in demanding shop and industrial environments. It measures 200 inches (16 feet 8 inches) in length and 1.5 inches in width, with a blade thickness of 0.05 inches and a variable pitch of 3 to 4 teeth per inch. The tooth material is M42+ high speed steel, ground to a positive rake angle for efficient chip evacuation. This blade is installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians running vertical or horizontal bandsaw equipment.

This blade is suited for cutting a wide range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch design reduces harmonic vibration during cuts, making it a reliable choice for both solid bar stock and structural shapes. It is appropriate for production cutting environments where consistent performance across mixed material schedules is required.

Key Features

• QXP series bi-metal construction with M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive materials
• Variable pitch (3 to 4 TPI) reduces vibration and noise during cutting
• Positive rake angle and ground tooth form support aggressive, efficient cuts
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance under continuous bandsaw operation
• Single level tooth set with a kerf width of 0.0820 inches for controlled material removal
• Compatible with a broad material application range including titanium, stainless steel, and aluminum

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for bandsaws accepting a 1.5-inch-wide blade with a 200-inch (16 feet 8 inches) loop length. Verify your saw's wheel-to-wheel capacity and blade guide clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the existing blade or installing a new one. Proper blade tension is critical — consult the saw manufacturer's specifications for the correct tension setting for a 1.5-inch-wide blade. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the coiled blade, and confirm blade tracking and guide alignment before resuming cuts.
