Bandsaw Blade Grumpage!
So I break my last .020 gauge bandsaw blade a couple weeks ago......think I can get another one anywhere??!! NOPE! So I over night a few from McFeeley and they send the wrong gauge and do not stock the size I wanted even though they are who I got them from before......so $40.00 shipping down the toity! I go online to every tool seller I can find including the factory that makes them and I can't get them!!! The factory does not even list the size on their website even though they make the damn things!!!! I called everywhere I knew of around here, Woodcraft, Beaver WW, Black Bear Tool,.......finally I find a place in Texas that sells them and I place the order 10 days ago........so I wait.......and I wait........and........I.......wait! So I call today.......its been 10 days and I want to know where my blades are?!?!? "Oh".....the girl on the phone says....."Those are backordered for another 7 days"............................................. .......................................  ....so I calmly say......"Don't you folks let a customer know either by phone or on my online customer account that an item is backordered?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" So she replies......"Well......we usually do!"???????????? Well thanks a crap-load and have a nice freakin' day!!!!!!  |

Larry,
Can't win can ya,
So did that first company knowingly take your order and ship you the wrong, but close blades without letting you know. I'd call them and get a return label from them and also reimburse you for wrong mechandise. You shouldn't have to pay for getting incorrect items.
I have a feeling 7 days from now the place in Texas will let you know that the blades are no longer available.....oh and sorry for not letting you know sooner.

Lucky for me Beamie I called the manufacturer and they told me just that! They were discontinued! While I was on that call the Texas company called to tell me the same......why couldn't they tell me that 10 friggin' days ago??!!?? I found someone else and will hopefully see them Wednesday! This has been a chore! Customer service absolutely sucks every place I have called!!!  |

Maybe you should stop breaking them, or learn how to weld them back together

I've never broken one, but the thought of one snapping really has me wondering where my hands would be if/when one breaks. Thats gotta be scary...

Can't hurt you just scares the sh*t out of you. Karl you should see the ones they have down at WHOI. A couple have a 4 foot throat on them. Cast iron and weigh a ton. They hardly ever use them. Mint condition. The one I use is a little larger than the one Joe posted. A pleasure to work on. The sky is the limit with what you can do.

Health Food Store run
yeah i was heading over to the Hanover health food store
the other day to get a couple things... ya know...
and i'm so glad i had my camera with me...
as it turns out Mr Bigfish isn't just working on only plugs!!
in FACT he took a whole tree and made a huge plug
and turned it into a pretty cool lookin roadster
it runs on mojo
...and he has single handedly solved the gas crisis
here's the photo

Larry I just broke my favorite blade. This blade is over 2.5 years old and has cut thousands of lip slots.
I don't know why but after I jumped out of my pants I thought of you  |

Don't you hate that Scott! That blade I broke in the spring was about a year and a half......probably did not cut near as many slots as you though!  |

We used to set up the new kid at work to have the thing explode at high speed when he pressed the work into it. LMFAO. Did it to him several times. Not a real sharp kid
