Where do you get bandsaw blades?

admin

I have a 7" x 12" bandsaw that uses 3/4" by 93" bandsaw blades.I can not find those anywhere. I need to cut some 1inch square .120" for my son and the blade broke. Even the ShipWreck Tool store doesn't have them on their website.Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain
Reply:And on second thought, how do you properly select bandsaw blades for the material? How many TPI is best to use on what? The blade that broke is gone now. The 14TPI that is on there can't be the right one at all to use. Seems like more TPI equals a nicer cut.Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain

Reply:You can buy a any pitch bandsaw blade in a spool and just make your own..Cut to length..Grind ends flat..Tig..Grind face flat both sides..Anneal...Done.Very handy when you need one NOW!!!!...zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:Dave,McMaster wants 150-260bucks for some of those blades? I thought a blade might be 25bucks max.Is that right?Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain

Reply:Zap, what filler rod would you tig with, or would use just fusion weld it? And how do you anneal?

Reply:No,$25 is not my breaking point. Was just a guess. The mcmaster site was quite different than most sites so maybe I wasn't looling in the right spot.Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain
Reply:I buy mine from a sharpening service.Bi metal run about 32.00 I built a jig to hold blades to weld my own and I tried it on an old blade.....worked pretty well.
Reply:Dave, you said to go 18-24tpi. I can't find one. I see the 14tpi.Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain

Reply:Originally Posted by zapsterFused..Overlap them by about 1/16" with a aluminum backing plate..After grinding the face flat on both sides heat the area with a torch to a dull red and let cool by itself..If you can bend the weld area into a "U" after complete cooling without it snapping then you are good to go.....zap!
