    Default Bandsaw blades

    Where is everyone buying their bandsaw blades from? I live in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

    McDiven for Bimetal blades which I find great for resawing. Last well and run very smoothly.

    I get a 30m roll of Starrett, 10mm x 4 tpi from Ebay for about $31.00 plus post. It is a continuous length and you will need to cut and join them yourself. I use silver solder. It is good quality stuff.
    BTW, I have no connection with the seller.

    I got a stack of Timberwolf blades that work well. I used to use the Woodslicer from highland woodworking before shipping prices went nuts. They cut well but didn't stay sharp too long and my saw blade sharpener couldn't sharpen them.

    I also use a carbide tipped resaw blade that I got made from Combined Saw in Brissy. I bought a bimetal blade from them but I haven't used it yet.

    You can Silver solder any size Band Saw blade if that is what you are thinking.

    Hi Steven,

    The wheels are about 700mm diameter and the blade length is 4950mm long. The bandsaw will cut to a depth of 305mm.
