It measures 162 inches (13 feet 6 inches) in length, 1-1\/4 inches in width, and 0.042 inches in thickness, with a variable pitch of 2 to 3 TPI. The blade body is constructed from spring steel with M42+ high speed steel teeth, a positive rake angle, and a ground variable cutting edge. This combination delivers aggressive stock removal on tough materials while extending tooth life. Licensed metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance teams are the primary installers and users of this blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for contour and straight cutting of a wide range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. Its variable pitch and single level set tooth geometry help reduce vibration and chatter during cuts, making it well-suited for both solid bar stock and structural profiles. It is used in vertical and horizontal bandsaw machines that accept a 162-inch blade loop in the QXP series configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction: M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable pitch (2 to 3 TPI) reduces harmonic vibration and improves surface finish on metal cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle increases cutting aggression on dense alloys and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround variable cutting edge delivers consistent tooth geometry across the full blade length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle level set tooth pattern produces a 0.0700-inch kerf width for predictable material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded loop construction eliminates mechanical fasteners and provides a smooth, continuous cut cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit welded blade for bandsaw machines requiring a 162-inch bi-metal blade in the LENOX QXP series configuration.

Verify blade tension and tracking alignment according to the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, as teeth are exposed along the full length. Inspect blade guides, thrust bearings, and wheel tires for wear before mounting a new blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 inches (13 feet 6 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 to 3 (variable pitch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal (Spring Steel back, M42+ High Speed Steel teeth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Level Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Rake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ground, Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKerf Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0700 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Non-Ferrous Metal, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Tool Steel, Mold Steel, Bearing Steel, Titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: QXP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23242112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: LENOX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 96998QPB134115\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LENOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540534722866,"sku":"96998QPB134115","price":149.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f491b787c2be91677b0eb46cf7b61a06_1ac764aa-d567-4b8a-99a9-03ede98f97c1.jpg?v=1785857726","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/lenox-96998qpb134115-welded-bandsaw-blade-2-3-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
