LENOX

The Diemaster 2(R) series is a general-purpose bi-metal blade designed for cutting a wide range of metals, including structural steel, tubing, and solids, with a focus on durability and cost-effectiveness. It features a hook or variable tooth geometry and is available in lengths from 5 ft to 15 ft. The Classic Pro(TM) series is engineered for higher production rates and longer blade life, using a premium bi-metal construction with a cobalt-enhanced tooth edge for improved heat resistance and wear. Classic Pro(TM) blades typically have variable tooth pitches and wider blade widths (e.g., 1 inch) to handle thicker materials and faster feed rates. Both series are available through 3G Electric with specific MPNs for accurate selection.

For cutting stainless steel with a LENOX band saw blade, a finer tooth pitch is recommended to reduce tooth loading and vibration. A pitch of 6 TPI (teeth per inch) is suitable for thin-walled sections or small diameters, while 14/18 variable pitch works for medium-thickness materials (e.g., 1/4 to 1/2 inch). For thicker stainless steel bars or plates, a pitch of 3/4 TPI may be used, but ensure the blade width (e.g., 1 inch) matches the saw capacity. LENOX Diemaster 2(R) blades with hook or variable tooth geometry are commonly used for stainless steel. Consult the datasheet for specific feed and speed recommendations.

LENOX band saw blades are designed to fit most standard band saw machines, including vertical and horizontal models from manufacturers like DoALL, Marvel, and Amada, provided the blade length, width, and thickness match the machine's specifications. The blades supplied by 3G Electric come in lengths from 5 ft 8-1/8 in to 15 ft 8 in, with widths from 1/4 in to 1 in, covering common machine requirements. Always verify the machine's blade length and width capacity before ordering. LENOX blades use standard tooth configurations (hook, variable) that are compatible with typical saw guides and wheels.

To determine the correct LENOX band saw blade length, measure the distance around the saw's wheels (the blade path) or consult the machine's manual for the specified length. LENOX blades from 3G Electric are available in precise lengths, such as 5 ft 8-1/8 in, 8 ft 8 in, 9 ft 8 in, and 15 ft 8 in, as indicated by the SKU specifications. If your machine requires a non-standard length, LENOX offers custom welding services, but standard lengths cover most common models. Use the MPN to match the exact length and tooth pitch needed.

The lifespan of a LENOX Diemaster 2(R) band saw blade depends on material type, cutting speed, feed rate, and coolant use. In general-purpose metal cutting of mild steel, a blade can last from 20 to 50 square inches of cut per blade inch, or approximately 8 to 20 hours of continuous operation. For harder materials like stainless steel or tool steel, lifespan may be reduced to 10 to 30 square inches per blade inch. Proper blade tension, alignment, and lubrication extend blade life. 3G Electric provides datasheets with recommended cutting parameters to optimize performance.
