Charles,


Try these folks. Looks like they may have your size and reasonably priced, too.

Well, win lose or draw I Must now replace the blade. it broke this morning just after cutting a pen blank I was working on.


 


I did hear back from John on the replacement blades and will be ordering just after the first of the month. Til then, I guess its back to the hand miter saw.

My bandsaw is an oriental brand and the blade is supposed to be 93". That particular size is not readily available so I started using 92 1/2" blades- easy to find. The only difference is that the tension indicator is nor longer accurate- but then again they never are. The difference between a 56 1/8" blade and a 56 7/8" blade is less than 1/4" in diameter. They might work OK, if there is enough adjustment distance in your blade tensioner.

Thanks Lew,


Unfortunately they don't. The closest thing they have is 1/4" 6tpi at 56 1/8",  need 1/4"x 56 7/8"


One of the forum sponsors (I guess that's what they are called) has a blade to fit the saw, So I'll get it from them and help TPW at the same time.
