    Default Blade Suppliers

    Hi

    I am looking for a supplier of a suitable blade for bandsaw boxes. After a bit of looking about I have settled on a 3/16 10 tooth per inch blade. I have contacted all of the Australian suppliers I can find on the internet and have virtually identical responses from them all - 1/4 is as small as you can get these days. I find that hard to believe. Does anyone have a supplier who can help - either Australian or overseas.

    Yes I have. They did say to ring back on Monday to check but were fairly certain that 1/4 was the smallest they now stock.

    Hi Mike,

    Try Amazon international shipping - 3/16 bandsaw blades.
    If they don't have the length you want, buy a bigger one and have a saw doctor cut and braze it to size.

    Regards, Jeff

    I use a 1/8"14tpi blade from Peacocks saws in Brisbane and have had great results with them cutting up to 90mm thick hardwood boxes.

    Just found this site too and they have blades less than 1/4". You don't say how long yours is so can't say if they have your particular one.

    Talked to them but no luck.

    I have found that Cutting Edge Saws do a 3/16 at custom lengths so I cancelled my Amazon order and getting my blades there.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions.

    Cheers
    Mike
