The blade measures 186 inches (15 feet 6 inches) in length and 1-1\/2 inches in width, with a 0.05-inch blade thickness and a variable pitch of 3 to 4 TPI. The tooth material is M42 high speed steel with a positive rake angle and Vari-Set tooth set, delivering aggressive chip clearance and extended blade life when cutting a wide range of metals. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and fabrication shops use this blade for structural and precision cuts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for industrial and commercial cutting environments where operators regularly work through alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, mold steel, nickel alloys, titanium, tool steel, and bearing steel. The variable pitch pattern reduces harmonic vibration during the cut, making it a reliable choice for shops processing a variety of material thicknesses in a single blade setup. It is not designed for contour cutting applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBi-metal construction with M42 high speed steel teeth for extended cutting life on hard metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVariable 3 to 4 TPI pitch with Vari-Set tooth set reduces vibration and improves surface finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance over repeated blade cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround, toothed, variable cutting edge style for consistent kerf control at 0.082 inches kerf width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction for continuous-loop operation on standard band saw equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement welded bandsaw blade for band saw machines accepting a 186-inch loop blade that is 1-1\/2 inches wide.

Power down and lock out the machine before removing the worn blade or installing the new one. Confirm blade tension, tracking adjustment, and guide bearing clearances per the machine manufacturer's specifications before running the saw. Allow a break-in period at reduced feed pressure for the first several cuts to seat the tooth set properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 186 inches (15 feet 6 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeeth Per Inch (TPI)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 to 4 (Variable Pitch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKerf Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.082 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bi-Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42 High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Set\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vari-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, Toothed, Variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Contestor GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContour Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel, Aluminum, Non-Ferrous Metal, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Mold Steel, Nickel Alloy, Titanium, Tool Steel, Bearing Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.876 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19.81 inches x 19 inches x 2.75 inches\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: GT22017CX15500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LENOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541864677682,"sku":"GT22017CX15500","price":292.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c53c5b747bfdfdbbb1757a4084098b15_cfc5361c-87b1-4a7c-a825-d9745c88bc6e.jpg?v=1785887084","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/lenox-gt22017cx15500-welded-bandsaw-blade-3-4-tpi","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
