Lenox QP19017CL12250 Bandsaw Blade 3-4 Tpi Bi-metal

Product Description

The LENOX QP19017CL12250 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. Measuring 147 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide with a 0.042-inch thickness, this blade runs on vertical or horizontal bandsaws where continuous-weld construction is required. The variable-pitch tooth form at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and harmonics during the cut, extending blade life on tough materials. The M42 high-speed steel tooth material and spring steel back combine cutting durability with flex resistance across long service cycles. Licensed trades, metal fabricators, and maintenance shops are the primary installers and users of this blade.

This blade is rated for cutting a broad range of metals including alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The 3 to 4 TPI variable pitch is best suited for structural sections, solid bar stock, and thick-walled tubing where chip clearance and vibration control matter. The ground toothed edge with a positive rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient cutting with reduced feed force. It is not designed for contour cutting applications.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction: M42 high-speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch at 3 to 4 TPI reduces vibration and chatter on structural and solid stock cuts
• Positive rake angle and ground tooth form support aggressive feed rates and cleaner kerf
• Single level tooth set with a 0.070-inch kerf width for consistent chip clearance
• QXP series blade rated for a wide material application range including titanium and stainless steel
• Welded construction eliminates joint failure points found in coiled or joined blades

Compatibility

Designed as a welded replacement bandsaw blade for horizontal and vertical band saws accepting a 147-inch blade loop, 1-1/4 inches wide, with 0.042-inch thickness. Verify your saw's wheel diameter and blade guide specifications before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Bandsaw blade replacement should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with machine guarding and blade-tensioning procedures. Disconnect and lock out power to the saw before removing the old blade or installing the new one. Tension the blade to the saw manufacturer's specification for the blade width and do not exceed the rated capacity. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the blade loop, and ensure all blade guides and thrust bearings are properly adjusted before returning the machine to service.
