This summer I purchased a used Craftsman bandsaw only to find out recently
when I went to purchase blades that no one carries my saw blade size. I was
wondering if anyone could recommend someone in Canada or Ontario that
carries 80 inch blades, I want a mix of wood as well as some really fine 30+
tpi for cutting thin aluminium.

THANKS

have bandsaws.

Many online sources--amazon is one place to start. Of course, Sears has
blades for these as well.

Woodworker's Supply (www.woodworker.com) is another...but I don't know
you'll find a source for such really fine tooth thingies
pre-made...won't say you can't, but I don't know where to tell you to
look.

Believe it or not I tried Sears but they need to special order from the US
and I have a very, very limited selection. I will try the other news group
if it's available.

Hot Rod....no need to look too hard... Go to a welding shop and ask themn
where they get there bulk saw blades from. In most cases they buy band saw
blades in bulk lengths. They cut the length they need and silver solder them
together. I am in the welding trade and have done it many times. Jim

Start with the saw sharpening shops in your area. They buy the stuff by the
roll and cut it to fit.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

Spelling mistake in my previous post.
Web address for Lee Valley Tools is www.leevalley.com

I was wondering if anyone could recommend someone in Canada or Ontario that

Any machine shop will have a band saw which will usually have a built in
grinding/welding gadget for blades on the side. Machinists need this in order
to make inside cuts. You could probably ask them to make up several blades for
you if no other ready made sources can be found. Good luck.

How bad do they hit you to ship to Canada? www.sears.com has a
pretty good selection of 80" blades.

Just search from that page for

I have a 'wet' bandsaw that uses diamond blades, i'm told when they
break, they can be silver soldered. The charge is about $30 to have
ONE blade repaired.... my husband says he can silver solder. Is there
a special technique for silver soldering a diamond blade? thanks .....

Run a web search for " Bandsaw Blade Welding Jig ". I've seen jigs and plans
to make jigs for sale for welding blades. RM~
