Lenox 97447QPB134015 Bandsaw Blade 13 Ft 2 in 4-6 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX 97447QPB134015 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and trade environments. Measuring 13 feet 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide with a 0.035-inch thickness, this blade carries a variable 4 to 6 TPI tooth pattern for efficient chip removal across a range of material thicknesses. The M42+ high speed steel tooth tips are bonded to a spring steel back, delivering heat and wear resistance on hard metals. Fabricators, maintenance machinists, and metal trade shops are the primary users.

This blade is suited for contour-free straight cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals on vertical or horizontal band saws accepting a 13-foot 2-inch blade length. The variable pitch tooth form reduces harmonic vibration and blade noise during cuts, making it effective on both thin-walled tubing and solid bar stock. The Vari-Raker tooth set and positive rake angle promote aggressive feed rates without sacrificing blade life on tough alloys.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42+ high speed steel teeth on a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI pitch reduces vibration and extends blade life across varied material sections
• Positive rake angle and Vari-Raker tooth set support aggressive, efficient cutting
• 0.058-inch kerf width for precise, controlled cuts with minimal material waste
• Compatible with alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum, titanium, mold steel, and bearing steel
• QXP series construction for consistent weld integrity at blade joint

Compatibility

Designed for band saws requiring a welded blade of 13 feet 2 inches in length, 1 inch in width, and 0.035 inches in thickness with a 4 to 6 TPI variable pitch configuration. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium. Contour cutting is not supported.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the band saw fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify blade tension and guide settings according to the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade, as tooth edges are sharp. Inspect the weld joint for integrity before mounting.
