Lenox QP22021CL21500 Welded Bandsaw Blade 2-3 Tpi

Product Description

The LENOX QP22021CL21500 is a welded bi-metal bandsaw blade engineered for demanding metal cutting applications in industrial and professional shop environments. Measuring 21 feet 6 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches wide, this blade is built on a spring steel back with M42-grade high speed steel teeth. The variable pitch tooth form, ranging from 2 to 3 TPI, reduces vibration and harmonic resonance during cuts, making it well suited for production sawing through a wide range of cross-sections. The ground, single-level-set teeth produce consistent kerf widths of 0.0820 inches for repeatable, accurate cuts.

This blade is intended for use on large industrial vertical or horizontal bandsaws in fabrication shops, machine shops, and metal service centers. The variable pitch and positive rake angle make it effective across a broad range of metal types and stock sizes. It is particularly well matched to applications involving varying material cross-sections where a fixed-pitch blade would produce excessive vibration or noise. Licensed trade professionals and skilled machinists handling structural, tool, or specialty metals are the primary installers and end users.

Key Features

• Bi-metal construction with M42-grade high speed steel teeth bonded to a spring steel back for durability and flex resistance
• Variable pitch tooth form (2 to 3 TPI) reduces vibration and extends blade life across varied stock dimensions
• Positive rake angle improves cutting aggression and chip evacuation on tough metals
• Ground, single-level-set teeth deliver a consistent 0.0820-inch kerf for precise dimensional cutting
• Compatible with a wide range of materials including alloy steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, carbon steel, tool steel, mold steel, and bearing steel
• QXP series design optimized for high-performance metal cutting in production environments

Compatibility

Suitable for alloy steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metal, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, mold steel, bearing steel, and titanium. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit blade for large industrial bandsaws accepting a 21-foot 6-inch blade length and 1-1/2-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with industrial bandsaw equipment. Power down and lock out the saw fully before removing the old blade or mounting the new one. Verify that blade guides, wheel alignment, and blade tension are set according to the saw manufacturer specifications before resuming operation. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling bandsaw blades, as the toothed edge presents a laceration hazard during coiling, uncoiling, and installation.
