I took the old rusted bandsaw blade out of my 14" bandsaw, cut it, and
measured it at 91-7/8", so I assume that 92" is what I should be
looking for.

In an internet search I can esily find 91-1/2" and 92-1/2" blades, but
not much in the way of 92".

Can I get recommendations on a good place to find a 92" blade mostly
for use in hardwoods and premium plywoods?

Thanks a lot.

Woodcraft can get you a new blade thru PS Wood, they can order any size
bandsaw blade you might need, besides a very good blade, the price is not
bad.\\

Will a 91 1/2 blade fit over your wheels (bet it will)? if so, use it and
tighten less; if not, use the 92 1/2 and tighten more. One eighth of an
inch is more than a RCH but not much

Timberwolf to name one, and probably a few local shops in your area can make
a blade to any length you want. Typically blades are made and sold by the
inch.

FYI
Timberwolf is sold by PS Wood thru Woodcraft.

Either length will work, as will your 92" idea, but the odds are good
your original blade is a slightly stretched bit of metal, so I'd go
for the 91-1/2". You should have more than enough adjustment in the
sysem to take anything you've mentioned.

The original blade was actually never used, so maybe it shrunk. :-)

Any idea which blades have the best life/cost ratio?

Thanks.

I recently spent a good amount of time researching and reading
opinions on band saw blades - I picked up a used Crapsman Professional
14" for good price and knew the first thing I'd want to do is put new
blades on it (takes 91 1/2" to 93 1/2" blades). I wound up going with
the Olson All Pro, pack of 3 from Rockler was $49, a 3/16", 1/4", and
5/8". I had tried a few cuts with the old blade, knowing it was shot
but I'll tell you the Olsons cut like friggin butter. I need to resaw
some 4/4 QSWO for a clock project, and with the 5/8" resaw blade I
sliced right through a sample piece perfectly without even using a
fence or a cutline. I'm having so much fun I'm looking around my shop
for stuff to cut!
