    Default 1/8th blade not being made ?

    A couple of bandsaw makers I know tell us that the supply of 1/8th blade stock is drying up. Could that be right ? Anybody know of a maker who has good supplies ?

    Henry Bros are the ones who got me alarmed. They say they are searching the world for blade stock. The guy I sold my business to rang and said he was having trouble with supplies. I was getting blades from Newcastle saw service for years but going through 10 to 20 every week we liked to have back-up. A quick ring around didn't come up with any answers. I wonder what all the bandsawn box people will do ?

    Problem solved. Peacock Saws in Queensland have plenty of stock. Thanks for the tip.

    I am in this camp ...... I would have thought that of any supplier Henry Bros would have been able to source them with little trouble.

    Default 1/8 " blade

    I took delivery of an 1/8" blade from Henry Bros this past week - just trying it out on my bandsaw now.
