Henry Bros Saws - Bandsaw blades & circular saw blades

Short answer: yes

Long answer:
The bandsaw should take any make of blade provided the length is correct and the width falls within the machines blade guides ( check specs)
I have a gmc hobby bandsaw too. It takes 1400mm blades between 3 and 14mm wide.
Thinner blades are good for curves, wider gives straightercuts in general.
More teeth per inch gives more accurate cutting with less tear out. More teeth is rougher but faster and generally cheaper.
I order mine from a supplier as suggested above. They simply cut a long piece of blade to length and weld it together.
If you are doing lots of work on the bandsaw give some consideration to spending a bit more on a bi-metal blade. These use a toughened, rigid metal for the teeth which maintains the cutting edge longer, and a more supple metal for the rear of the blade which reduces the risk of the band snapping especially when cutting curves.
Hope this helps.
