Capt Crutch · 02-22-2008, 03:59 PM

I recently got a new band saw and need to get a few blades for it. Can anyone recommend any good sources? Thanks.

I don't know what you know about blades but low tension swedish steel for my vertical band has been "the" winner for me.Mark

Thank you Marko...that's where I buy my sandpaper! (I didn't know they were a good bandsaw blade source!)

Gosh, I'm quickly learning that it looks like you need a LOT of different bandsaw blades to cover all your bases...ain't no such thang as a ATB/R combo blade that'll do everything well, is there?

Edit: I don't see any 142" blades for my Rikon, so I guess I need to have some made up...

Since you are not bashful, you might just go ahead and fill out a profile and a link to you business. That sounded sarcastic, but it was not meant to be. We all need bandsaw blades and other stuff from time to time.
Oh yeah, almost forgot...Welcome aboard.

Could go to these folks, get a free blade too.

As Gary says, go to Suffolk Machinery. They are the manufacturer of Timberwolf blades. They have a special going on till the end of the year; buy three blades and get the fourth free.
They are knowledgeable about their blades and applications. Give them a call, tell them your saw model and what type of sawing you want to do. They'll get you the right blade. I think they are a very good blade for resawing (3/4" and 1") and for other radial cuts (1/4" and 3/8").
