Lenox 96549QPB206250 Bandsaw Blade 246in 2-3 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 96549QPB206250 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade built for continuous cutting in demanding metal fabrication and sawing applications. Measuring 246 inches in overall length and 1-1/2 inches wide, this blade runs on industrial vertical and horizontal bandsaws. The variable-pitch tooth pattern at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and noise while improving cut quality across a wide range of metal stock. The M42-plus high-speed steel tooth material delivers extended edge life when cutting hard alloys. Tooth geometry features a positive rake angle and a single-level set, producing a 0.082-inch kerf. This blade is installed and replaced by machinists and metal fabrication technicians.

This blade is suited for cutting a broad range of materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The QXP series variable tooth form and ground cutting edge make it appropriate for structural shapes, solid rounds, tubing, and plate. It is intended for production and job-shop environments where blade life and cut consistency across mixed material runs are priorities. The welded construction provides a continuous loop ready to mount without additional joining.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-plus high-speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard metals
• Variable pitch at 2 to 3 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish
• Positive rake angle and ground tooth form for aggressive, efficient metal removal
• Single-level tooth set produces a consistent 0.082-inch kerf
• Spring steel back resists fatigue and flexing during continuous operation
• Welded loop construction — ready to install with no field joining required

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare welded bandsaw blade for industrial vertical and horizontal band saws accepting a 246-inch loop length and a 1-1/2-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with the saw manufacturer's tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the bandsaw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Use appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop. Verify wheel diameter, blade length, and width compatibility with the machine specifications before mounting, and confirm proper tension and tracking alignment before resuming cuts.
