Bandsaw blade for bowsaw?

Well, I just went to www.harborfreight.com and typed bandsaw blade into the search box - got a whole batch of possibilities. Hmmm. Not bad. 3/4" x 10 tpi, heat treated. Still, at $1 per foot, I could throw it out rather than sharpen when it gets dull. Still looking for a little wider, maybe 1-1/4". I also unearthed the old Craftsman linear slide miter box and saw. Now, that blade looks like what I have in mind. About 12 tpi rip, 1-1/4" wide. It doesn't cut well at all crosscut, but pretty clean in rip. I remember buying that for the kids 10 years ago. It always frustrated them. The polished slide on the frame looks too good to just throw out, but all it does is get in the way. Looks like I have ready made hardware if I go that route. Interesting. Sears still sells that tool of bondage: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...0070921x00003a It differs by having a rectangular slide, not the heavy chromed round slide on mine. Otherwise, looks much the same. Now, if only I can find their replacement blades... |
