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

You would be amazed how many of the places I called that were unable to tell me the gauge of the blades they were selling?!?! They had lengths, widths, TPI's........most were totally unable to tell me what the blade gauge was?! One place referred me to their "Technical Support Staff"......and they were unable to tell me the blade gauge until I suggested that they.....LOOK AT THE BOX!!!!!!!

Larry - try Ocean Welding. They can weld the blade if it is still worth fixing. Or any shop with decent equipment can repair them for you. A lot cheaper than a new blade.

Call MSC.. 1-800-645-7270... they should have the blade in stock...unless it's a real odd ball length.

I've got the book in front of me... they list 1/2"X.20 from 3'8 7/8 to 5' 4 1/2".... if your big time stuck and the blade is repairable and not bent... I might be able to help you out...

The first bandsaw that I ever saw had a welder built right into the side of it. The tech operating it was repairing a blade that had broken. I thought that they all came that way. C'mon I was only 12 at the time...

Unfortunately the Tech support guys were using it to measure length instead...
