I need 93.5" bandsaw blades that I can order on the internet. They are for a Grizzley 14" Bandsaw. Grizzley made the saw to only accept this goofy size, so I can not run to the local hardware store for re-supply (Grizzley does not sell them anymore. I need an internet source that will let me order only one or two blades. There are several made to order sites, but they all require $100 (or thereabouts) minimum orders. I don't need $100 worth of blades, just $12.95 worth!

Oh, Grizzley customer service said that the saw would take a 92.5" blade - turns out the new version of my model accepts both, but mine is old enough that it only takes the 93.5".

Anyone know a good site?

Thanks,

Jon

Go the the Suffolk Machinery (http://www.suffolkmachinery.com) site and call them on the phone to order. Timberwolf blades and priced much lower than typical retail, even for those that use the same blade stock.

According to the chart, they will make any size you need.

Is 7' 9-1/2" close enough? ;-)

McMaster-Carr has a pretty good selection.

Thanks all!

Yeah, I think the 7' 9-1/2" length will work.

You sound like the guy who interviewed me for an apprentice job in his cabinet shop. Wanted to know if I could tell him how many thousandths were in an inch. ;) I got the answer right, but didn't get the job...
