"PS WOOD" blades. You can also try here for some specialty blades give them

It depends on what you consider an arm to be worth. Try Suffolk Machinery
at:

http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/

They can make blades to any length.

Your local industrial blade shop and wait a day or two. Costs the
same, or even cheaper than most pre-packaged shops.

.......give call Iturra a call at 888-722-7078 and ask for a copy of their
catalog of bandsaw accessories, it's well worth a read. I have no affiliation
with them except as a satisfied customer.

A minor correction. PS Wood Machines is another supplier of silicon steel blades that are similar to, if not from the same
supplier, as those from Suffolk. PS Wood is located in Bethel Park, PA. They are not the same company.

If you look at the packaging on PS wood blades it say that they are "timber
wolf" distributor. I think that the timberwolf brand bandsaw blades are made
by www.sullfolkmachinery.com also PS wood uses the same images on their
bandsaw blade packaging that is sullfolkmachineries logo. Hmmmm make ya
think eh? I Also asked at a wood show and got a very similar response from
the PS Wood rep as well. But I could have been misinformed. Just my opinion.
I have used blades from both companies and they are both great blades.

Both correct, Suffolk owner "allows" PS to sell his blades at shows
per his E-mail a couple of years ago.

I believe it states "From the makers of Timberwolf blades." There are several vendors that buy the same silicon steel blade stock
from the same supplier. Therefore, except for possibly the packaging and quality of the welds, they are the same blades.
