    bandsaw blades for an older bandsaw

    I'm lookin' for a resource to buy 57" band saw blades. I'm needin' some resaw blades & other blades. The saw was given to me with two blades, & one of those was new. At this point, my search has turned up nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    Most places will weld blades to your requested length.

    E.g., http://timberwolfblades.com/proddetail.php?prod=1406PC

    As stated, you don't need to look for 57" bands. Just find the supplier, tooth count, material and so forth that you want and order the blade by length.

    Check your area for an industrial supplier. A company here makes bandsaw blades of any size from Lenox stock, sometimes while you wait.

    Call Woodcraft bands, but not on Fridays as they are closed

    Call Woodworkers Tool Works. They are small family owned Wisconson company (second generation at least) whose business is providing tooling for wood. They'll know more than you do about what blade or blades make sense and will weld up your length. As a small company repeat business is their lifeline; they will treat you right.

    I'm a newbie here but I've been making my own bandsaw blades for years. I think I bought the jig at veratas . It comes with a small amount of silver solder ribbon and some silver soldier paste . I found a 4' piece of ribbon on eBay for @$20. You only use @1/4" of ribbon per joint. So I have a lifetime of the stuff.
    Majority of my blades are for metal so speeds are considerably less. Only 1 failed joint. My first time.
    100' roll will cost you @$30-50 depending on type your looking for.
    Just a thought

    Correction! I remembered! I bought the jig at Lee Valley.
