Lenox 99929QPB175335 Bandsaw Blade 17.5 Ft 4-6 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX 99929QPB175335 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 17 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch back thickness, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42-grade high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch design runs 4 to 6 TPI with a Vari-Raker tooth set, reducing vibration and harmonic noise during cuts. It belongs to LENOX's QXP series, which targets high-productivity straight and structural cutting on horizontal and vertical band saws. Installation is performed by licensed machinists or experienced fabrication technicians.

This blade is suited for straight-line cutting across a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, titanium, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The variable pitch pattern manages chip load across varying cross-sections, making it a practical choice when a shop cuts mixed stock sizes throughout a shift. It is not configured for contour cutting. Typical installations are found in production machine shops, metal service centers, and maintenance facilities running horizontal or vertical metal-cutting band saws that accept a 17 foot 6 inch blade loop.

Key Features

• M42-grade high speed steel teeth deliver extended edge life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 4 to 6 TPI Vari-Raker tooth set reduces vibration and controls chip formation
• Spring steel back provides fatigue resistance over long production runs
• 0.0680-inch kerf width minimizes material loss on high-value stock
• Positive rake angle supports aggressive, efficient cutting on a wide range of metals
• Welded construction delivers a consistent, pre-tensioned loop ready for immediate installation

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit welded bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting band saws that accept a 17 foot 6 inch blade loop with a 1-1/4 inch width. Verify your saw's blade length specification and guide width capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with band saw blade tensioning and tracking procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before opening blade guards or handling the blade. Set blade tension and tracking according to the saw manufacturer's specifications before running the blade under load. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blades.
