Lenox 96090QPB175310 Bandsaw Blade 209 in 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 96090QPB175310 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 209 inches in total length and 1.5 inches wide with a 0.050 inch thickness, this blade is built around an M42+ high-speed steel tooth material bonded to a spring steel back. The variable pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and noise during cuts, making it well suited for interrupted cuts and variable cross-section workpieces. Licensed millwrights, machinists, and fabricators working with production bandsaws will recognize the QXP series construction as a professional-grade, shop-floor solution.

This blade is intended for vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 209-inch blade loop with a 1.5-inch width. The broad material application range covers alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. A positive rake angle and ground variable cutting edge improve surface finish and extend blade life when cutting thick-wall tubing, solid bar stock, and structural sections. It is a single-blade package suited for production shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments that require a reliable drop-in blade with minimal setup time.

Key Features

• M42+ high-speed steel teeth deliver extended cutting life on hard alloys and stainless steel
• Variable pitch 3 to 4 TPI tooth form reduces vibration and improves cut quality on irregular cross-sections
• Ground, toothed, variable cutting edge style provides consistent kerf width of 0.082 inches
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexion cracking over extended production runs
• Single level tooth set maintains predictable tracking and consistent blade tension
• Covers a wide material range including titanium, stainless steel, tool steel, and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed for bandsaw machines that accept a welded loop blade measuring 209 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width. Confirm your saw's blade length specification and wheel-to-wheel distance before installation to ensure proper fit and tensioning.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by qualified personnel with the bandsaw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify correct blade tension according to the saw manufacturer's specification before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades. Do not force a blade onto wheels that are misaligned or sized for a different blade width.
