Hi Stop,
I was informed by the local dealer and the woodies club that LenoxAmerican blades were about the best available so thats what I bought.

Bushman, I don't recall making reference to the cost of blades of Bandsaws in my recent posts.
I made reference to the width of blades and the cost of my bandsaw.
I think you must be confused with someone else's post!
I do though, know of 'Henry Bros Saw's' and am aware of their product, but deal with my local bloke for the service he has over the years offered up.

Sorry for the repetition or similarity of posts I have changed ISP's and some tidying up is necessary.

Hi John,
No problems, the original was ment for Doorstop, not to worry, so long as we have a sense of humour and the enjoyment of a common hobby, who really cares.
Thanks for you help and suggestion.

Hi guys, someone forgot to explain that those Lennox blades from Henry Bros, are BI-METAL blades and that is why they appear expensive.For my big saw I use their 1.5" X 1 TPI. to cut up to 500mm thick, in Qld Walnut and Burdekin Plum, two of the hardest and high silica content timbers you would want to cut. These BI-METAL blades outlast ordinary blades 6to1, but the greatest saving I find is in not having the down time to replace the blade as the cheapies go blunt. Just my 20cents worth.
PS. The mail order service from Henry Bros, to Townsville is nothing short of excellent.
Regards from the sunny North.

Argh, argh argh, thats cutting wood!

Hi Nugget.
I have just returned to NSW after living 12 months in SE Queensland: found a Very Good woodworking supply shop at Yatala/ Beenleigh: had some really noce gear at good prices! Can't remeber exact name of shop but near the concrete works you can see from the Pacific motorway (on the right as you head south, not far from Yatala pies. Did have some German gear when i was there last.
