Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LENOX from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between LENOX Diemaster 2 and QXP band saw blades?
LENOX Diemaster 2 blades are general-purpose bi-metal band saw blades intended for maintenance and mixed-metal cutting. They are available in variable, raker, and hook tooth geometries with widths typically from 1/2 in to 1 in. QXP blades are designed for production cutting of steel and steel alloys, with wider widths up to 2 in and tooth configurations such as 1.5/2 and 2/3. QXP blades are often used in structural steel, tubing, and solid section cutting where higher feed rates and longer tool life are required. The choice depends on material type, section size, and sawing equipment.
What sizes are available in the LENOX Diemaster 2 band saw blade line?
The LENOX Diemaster 2 line includes blades with lengths from 9 ft 6 in to 27 ft 6 in and widths of 1/2 in, 1 in, and other dimensions depending on the specific part number. Tooth pitches range from 6 to 14 teeth per inch, with variable, raker, and hook cutting edges. For example, SKU 54AX72 is a 27 ft 6 in blade with 1/2 in width and a variable cutting edge, while SKU 54CX15 is a 9 ft 6 in blade with a hook tooth design. Selection depends on the saw's wheel diameter and the material being cut.
Are LENOX step drill bits suitable for impact drivers?
Yes, LENOX impact-rated high-speed steel step drill bits are designed for use with impact drivers. The 3-piece set (SKU 4XL29, Mfr. Model 30889889) includes bits with a 1/4 in shank and covers 21 hole sizes from 1/8 in to 1 in. The bits are made from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish. They are intended for enlarging holes in sheet metal and other thin materials. When using with an impact driver, ensure the driver is set to the appropriate torque and speed for the material thickness.
What is the cutting capacity of the LENOX 14831TS34 tubing cutter?
The LENOX 14831TS34 is a compact tubing cutter with a standard wheel, designed for cutting copper tubing up to 3/4 in outside diameter. It has a tool length of 3 1/2 in, which allows use in confined spaces. This cutter is typically used in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration applications where a full-size cutter may not fit. The cutting wheel is replaceable, and the tool is operated by rotating it around the tubing while tightening the adjustment knob incrementally.
What tooth configurations are available for LENOX QXP band saw blades?
LENOX QXP band saw blades are available with variable cutting edges and tooth configurations such as 1.5/2 and 2/3. For example, SKU 464D83 is a 2 in wide, 19 ft long blade with a 1.5/2 tooth configuration, and SKU 5WDJ9 is a 1 1/4 in wide, 13 ft 6 in long blade with a 2/3 configuration. These configurations are intended for cutting steel and steel alloys in production settings, including structural steel, tubing, and solid bars. The variable pitch helps reduce noise and vibration during cutting.
