Lenox QP22021CL15167 Bandsaw Blade 182in 1-1/2in 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX QP22021CL15167 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal-cutting applications in industrial and fabrication environments. The blade measures 182 inches (15 feet 2 inches) in length and 1-1/2 inches in width, with a 0.05-inch body thickness and a kerf width of 0.082 inches. It runs a variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch pattern, which helps reduce vibration and harmonics during the cut. The M42+ high-speed steel teeth are ground to a positive rake angle with a single-level set, making this blade well suited for cutting a wide range of metals. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, and fabricators working with structural and specialty metals will find this blade appropriate for production bandsaw use.

This blade is designed for vertical and horizontal metal-cutting bandsaws accepting a 182-inch welded loop blade with a 1-1/2-inch width. It is part of the LENOX QXP series and targets professional shops and trade contractors cutting alloy steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and titanium. The variable pitch tooth form makes it a practical choice when cutting solids, tubes, and structural shapes where consistent chip load and vibration control matter across varying cross-sections.

Key Features

• M42+ bi-metal construction with high-speed steel teeth for extended blade life on hard and abrasive metals
• Variable 2 to 3 TPI pitch reduces vibration and harmonics for smoother cuts
• Positive tooth rake angle promotes aggressive, efficient chip removal
• Ground, single-level tooth set delivers consistent kerf width of 0.082 inches
• Spring steel back provides flexibility and fatigue resistance during continuous bandsaw operation
• QXP series designation indicates a high-performance blade rated for titanium, stainless steel, and specialty alloys

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement welded bandsaw blade for metal-cutting bandsaws that accept a 182-inch loop, 1-1/2-inch wide blade. Suitable for cutting alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Blade installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the bandsaw powered down and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the blade guides, wheel diameter, and blade tracking are correctly adjusted before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling a coiled or uncoiled bandsaw blade. Consult the bandsaw manufacturer's service manual for proper blade tension specifications before starting the machine.
