How about the manufacturer? suffolkmachinery.com. If you've been following recent posts here, though, it seems like a lot of people are unhappy with their quality control recently. You might want to look at recent archives (within the last few weeks, I think) before your purchase. Andy |

Timber Wolf band saw blade
I've taken to calling their 800 number. Half of the time when I go to
woodcraft or rocklers I can't find blades I want for my saw. They may have the right length but not the right blade for my application. Buying from suffolk I usually get them in maybe 3 days and they keep track of what I have purchased. Most other manufactures don't deal directly with customers so if you want a blade for your saw you have to wait for Rocklers or woodcraft to get them The only problem I've had with my timber wolf blades is when I do something stupid like use the wrong blade for the application like try to cut a thick bowl blank with a fine toothed blade PS some people like suffolk, some like lenox, or olson I even know one guy that swears by grizzly blades. When reading postings on the rec always keep a salt shaker handy. Tom wrote: What's a reliable source for these blades? |

Do yourself a favor and get a "Wood Slicer" instead...makes the Timber Wolf look like a dull hatchet. http://www.tools-for-woodworking.com...VIEWPROD&ProdI D=1293 -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Timber Wolf band saw blade
I ended up on the home page. Gasp, choke. The first thing I saw on the web site was a $250
tomahawk. $250 for a tomahawk???? Excuse me, a British Trade Axe. Wow. Go he http://www.hbforge.com/ No affiliation with H&B, just a satisfied customer flinging the same Shawnee hawk for 25+ years and Lord knows how many replacement handles. Great product, hand made, $38. http://users4.ev1.net/~robenhaus/ Nice saw blades, though, and a very nice shop apron.
