Title: Need 95" bandsaw blades and suggestions
Post by: Gordy on May 16, 2007, 09:51:00 PM
Where is a good place to order this odd sized blade online ?

And if you could only order two blades to do it all with riser shaping, glass lam cutting and re-sawing, what would you get ?

I'm thinking 1/4 or 3/8 variable and a 1/2" 6tpi ?

Could also us a good suggestion for a metal blade.

Thanks.

Glass lam cutting will eat up a wood bandsaw blade real quick.  You can order custom blades from woodcraft. 1/4 and 3/4 inch is what I use with as few teeth as possible.

TriMaster for glass and exotic hardwoods.  Over 40 bows and still sharp.  Expensive but worth every cent.

Most large saw sharpening shops make bandsaw blades, any length you want. The blade material they use if much better stuff than what you buy from places like Lowe's or Home Depot.

I don't know if they ship blades but I use a place called Miner Saw in Tuscumbia Alabama, best blades I have ever used. I get a huge discount if I buy them 10 at a time, about $8.50 a blade

Apparently they do ship because they are listed as a supplier on the net.

Thanks for the info guys ! Sounds like I should get myself a metal cutting blade for glass since I need it anyway.
