Lenox 96865QPB175410 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 96865QPB175410 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications on vertical and horizontal band saws. It measures 213 inches long and 1-1/2 inches wide with a 0.050-inch thickness and a variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch pattern. The M42-plus high speed steel tooth material delivers extended edge life when cutting hard, abrasive, and exotic metals. The ground, variable tooth form and positive rake angle reduce cutting forces and help control chip load across a range of material thicknesses. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance trades rely on this blade for structural and specialty metal fabrication work.

This blade is suited for industrial and commercial band saw applications where a wide range of material types must be cut on a single setup. The variable pitch minimizes vibration and harmonic noise when transitioning between thin and thick cross-sections. Stated compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, and titanium. The blade is part of the LENOX QXP series and is packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• M42-plus high speed steel teeth for extended life on hard and exotic metals
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch reduces vibration and improves cut quality across varying material thicknesses
• Ground tooth form with positive rake angle lowers cutting forces and heat buildup
• Spring steel back provides consistent tension and fatigue resistance during extended cuts
• Single level tooth set with 0.082-inch kerf width for controlled material removal
• Welded construction for continuous-loop fitment on standard band saw machines

Compatibility

Compatible materials include alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, and titanium. This blade is part of the LENOX QXP series and is designed for band saws that accept a 213-inch loop blade measuring 1-1/2 inches wide.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machine operator or maintenance technician with the band saw fully powered down and the blade guard removed per the machine manufacturer's lockout/tagout procedure. Verify wheel diameter, blade length, and blade width specifications match the machine before mounting. Blade tension and tracking must be set according to the band saw manufacturer's specifications before making any cut. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as the teeth present a laceration hazard during installation.
