    Default Metabo BAS 260 blades

    I picked up a Bas-260 Swift last weekend and it is great.

    I am having trouble sourcing blades for it though. I figured with the good Aussie dollar I would get a couple from overseas but after a lot of internet searching I can't find anywhere that sells them and ships to Australia.

    I also can't find any other branded blades with a length of 1712mm.

    Does any one know of an online store that carries 1712mm blades?
    Specifically I want a 6mm blade for doing tight curves.

    Cheers.

    Thanks Mulgabill.
    No, I found them mentioned in another thread about blades but figured they were for industrial sized stuff.
    I will give them a call though and see what they have for small band saws.

    Cool, thanks for the heads up on McDiven.

    I gave them a call and ordered up a few blades. They were $11.50 each which is much more reasonable than the $40+ for the Metabo branded blades.
