Bandsaw blade help

[BRScroller]

I am looking for someone or someplace that sells bandsaw blades. I have done limited searching on-line so far and keep coming up with industrial blades. My Hitachi uses a 64 1/2" blade. If anyone has an outlet or individual that they have had success with please let me know. Thanks.

I know zero about bandsaws but would this Delta blade help you? http://www.toolbarn.com/category/bandsawblade/

Here is a nice Olson blade http://www.westerntool.com/product.htm?pid=428626

One from Northern Tool http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...70_52320_52320

Here's a Hitachi blade but I don't know how long it is, but it's 1/2 inch wide http://www.amazon.com/Hitachi-967990.../dp/B0000223KL

Hope that helps!

Brad:

Bandsaw blades 64-1/2 inches are considered as Non-Standard length since only a few makes and model use them.

Try for custom welded lengths available at several web sites. I recommend Woodcraft:

I use to recommend Highland Hardware, but they only make custom length Resaw blades now.

Laguna tools can make any size blade..can't say there blade is better than anyone elses, but they do sell carbide resaw blades that really rock!

Check this company: http://www.timberwolf1.com/
Very good blades and I am sure they will make them to your length.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like I am going to have to either trade to a more traditional bandsaw with a standard blade or go the made to order route.

BRScoller....I HAve the same bandsaw as you(I guess)where the saw tilts and the table stays level. SEARS has the blades for them. They have the same saw just with their name on it. LOwes is supose to start stocking them also since they sell the saw.
