Bandsaw blades 80'?
 

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

Contact a local saw blade maker, they can make you blades very easily. Also
there are many blade makers avaliable on-line. DAGS

I agree. I have called them plenty in the past. Now that I know what I need, It is often more convenient to use online ordering.
I always seem to forget to call during normal business hours.

Try http://www.tufftooth.com/. I've ordered from them in the past, and had
good luck. They will make a blade any size you need.

You can also try www.leevalley.com. They have 80" blades for the Sears
machines.

Both of these companies are in Ontario.

Sounds simple but can you get to Sears? They still sell them. You could
order from them online too.

I can get 80" blades for my Sears 12" at sears, woodcraft, and the farm
store locally, and I've seen them at several online places.
