Lenox 96046QPB164875 Bandsaw Blade 16 Ft 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 96046QPB164875 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for high-performance cutting in metal fabrication and industrial sawing applications. At 16 feet long and 1-1/2 inches wide, it mounts on large horizontal and vertical band saws used in production shops, job-site fabrication, and maintenance facilities. The blade body is spring steel with M42+ high speed steel teeth, a variable pitch tooth form set at 2 to 3 TPI, and a positive rake angle. Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge geometry reduces cutting pressure and heat buildup across a wide range of metal stock profiles.

This blade is suited for production and job-shop environments where operators cut a variety of metal types and cross-sections in a single setup. The variable pitch TPI pattern dampens vibration on interrupted cuts and transitions between solid bar, tube, and structural profiles. It is appropriate for vertical and horizontal band saws with a 16-foot blade capacity. Installation and blade changes are typically performed by machine operators or tool-room technicians.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: spring steel back bonded to M42+ high speed steel teeth for durability and edge retention
• Variable pitch 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and chatter on mixed cross-section cuts
• Positive rake angle improves chip clearance and cutting speed on metal stock
• Ground cutting edge delivers consistent kerf width of 0.082 inches across the blade life
• Single level tooth set for predictable, repeatable kerf geometry
• QXP series design rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, carbon steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel

Compatibility

Designed for horizontal and vertical band saws requiring a 16-foot welded blade loop. Rated for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician following the band saw manufacturer's blade-change procedure. Power down and lock out the saw before removing or installing any blade. Verify blade tension and blade guide settings match the blade width of 1-1/2 inches before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
