Hi
When I needed a blade for my band saw I went to the local toolshop, not Bunnings etc, and they got one made to size for me.
To measure yours, I'd get some string and run it around the outside to get the measurement.
It costs no more to get on custom made.

Cheers, Allan

Carba-Tech in Melb had a couple made up for me so try one of their banches if they are nearby. Also try Yellow pages in your local area. If you still have one take in a broken blade for measurements.

There is a place in Kororoit Creek Rd Williamstown that do nothing else but make band saw blades. Can't think of there name but you wouldn't miss them.

Just a guess, but the benchtop saws are 1425mm blades (that is, the three wheelers).

If you have your old (broken) blade, just measure the length and that will give you your blade length.

Suppliers: Any saw doctor - look up saw sharpening in the yellow pages and call one close to you. Cheaper than running halfway across town.

Cheers,
