Lenox QP17021CL19500 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX QP17021CL19500 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Stretching 19 feet 6 inches in length and 1 inch wide, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42+ high speed steel teeth for extended edge life. The variable pitch design at 2 to 3 TPI reduces vibration and noise during cuts, improving surface finish and blade longevity. A 0.035-inch blade thickness and 0.060-inch kerf width are suited to horizontal and vertical bandsaw machines used by metal fabricators, maintenance machinists, and production shops.

This blade is intended for contour-free straight cutting across a broad range of metal materials including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The positive rake angle on the ground teeth promotes aggressive stock removal while the single level tooth set keeps the kerf consistent. It is a practical fit for production environments where a range of material types and cross-sections are processed on the same machine setup.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42+ high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flexibility
• Variable pitch at 2 to 3 TPI reduces harmonic vibration and extends blade life on interrupted or variable cross-section cuts
• Ground, toothed cutting edge with positive rake angle for efficient chip removal
• Single level tooth set delivers consistent 0.060-inch kerf width throughout blade life
• Welded construction in the QXP series provides uniform joint strength across the full blade length
• Compatible with a wide material range: alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and more

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock blade for horizontal and vertical metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 19-foot 6-inch by 1-inch blade. Confirm your machine's blade length, width, and thickness specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician with the machine fully de-energized and locked out per applicable LOTO procedures. Verify wheel diameter, blade tension rating, and guide spacing on the host machine before mounting. Allow the blade to run unloaded for a short break-in period before applying full feed pressure. Inspect blade welds and tooth condition before each use.
