    Default 2026mm Blades - Where can i find them ?

    I have recently restored a Durden B1200 Bandsaw. The label on the inside of the frame says "Blade size 2026mm" (roughly 79.75") I have searched the interewebs but unable to come up with a single solution. Could anyone help me out and point me in the right direction for getting some blades / replacements blades for this machine. Thanks kindly.

    Mate the best bet is to contact Henry Bros (near Windsor NSW) or Cutting Edge Saws (Kirrawee NSW) You only have to give them the length required as well as the tooth per inch size and they will make to suit. Cutting Edge Saws have a web site but because of the wide range of band sizes etc they want you to contact them. I have bought a bit stuff from them and their service is pretty good
    Just do it!

    Kind regards Rod

    Worth trying yellow pages for saw blade sharpeners in your area too, as some of them manufacture blades.

    Yep, our local saw sharpener has all grades of bandsaw material and makes your blade to size on the spot. Most of them will do that. just search out good saw sharpeners in your area, they will most likely be in an industrial estate tucked away somewhere because most of their business is kitchen cabinet shops, tradies, etc.

    Hi Blazk,

    As you are in Adelaide, try Queenstown Saw Works (Q Saw) in Athol Park for the blade.
    Also Durden Machinery are an Adelaide company and may be able to help you with your saw.

    Regards
    Keith

    FYI your blade is an 80" unit - 2032mm. They are all over Ebay.

    But yes, any decent blade works will make whatever you want.

    John

    PS I know because I went through all of this for my second hand 14" unit.
