Lenox 97892QPB144420 Bandsaw Blade 14 Ft 6 in Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 97892QPB144420 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 14 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch in width, with a 0.035-inch back thickness and a 0.060-inch kerf width. It runs a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI, which reduces harmonic vibration and provides smoother cuts across varying cross-sections. The M42-grade high-speed steel teeth are ground and set to a single-level configuration with a positive rake angle, making this blade well-suited for production cutting on metal-cutting bandsaws. Licensed HVAC techs and fabricators working with a range of metals rely on this QXP series blade for consistent, controlled stock removal.

This blade is designed for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws used in shop and job-site fabrication settings. It handles a broad material range including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch and positive rake geometry make it particularly effective when cutting irregular or variable-thickness workpieces where a fixed-pitch blade would chatter. It is packaged individually and sold in single-unit quantities.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-grade high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for flex resistance
• Variable 3 to 4 TPI pitch reduces vibration and extends blade life on mixed-section cuts
• Ground tooth form with positive rake angle for aggressive, accurate metal removal
• Single-level tooth set and 0.060-inch kerf width deliver consistent, repeatable cut quality
• Welded construction provides a continuous loop ready to mount directly on compatible bandsaws
• Rated for alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or upgrade blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 14-foot 6-inch blade length with a 1-inch blade width. Confirm wheel size and blade guide spacing on the saw before installation.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified operator following the bandsaw manufacturer's procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or mounting this one. Verify blade tension according to the machine manufacturer's specification chart for a 1-inch bi-metal blade. Always confirm blade tracking and guard adjustment before resuming cuts.
