Powermatic 043 14" Bandsaw blade size?

[Dan Lawson]

Gang: Does anyone have an 043 that they've ordered blades for in the past? I measured an old blade and it come up around 99" (using string :cool:), but wanted to be sure before I pull the trigger. Thanks.

Dan,
Not sure if this will work on your saw (it should) but an old formula we use to use was:
pi times the diameter of one wheel (both should be the same) plus twice the distance between centers.
Example: 3.14 X 14 = 43.96 plus 72" = 115.96"

Hope this helps.

I'll give it a whirl, so to speak;)
