Looking for a blade (20' L) for general resaw of 6/4 to 8/4 stock. I bought them from Daily saw thru Strada lumber in San Diego back when.
Any recommendations for suppliers/manufacturers in So Cal? Also the best tooth configuration and blade width.

I contacted Wayco industrial in LA area yesterday. They do not specialize in wood blades but do have 2 choices (1" 3-tpi skip, 1.25" 7/8 tooth spacing).
There expertise is in metal cutting blades.

Some of the guys from Daily saw now work at https://kairostooling.com/
I’m fairly confident they can make up a blade for you.
Good Luck

I have blades made at a local certified Lenox blade shop. The one here is in an industrial gas supplier but they are all over. I found a listing on the Lenox web site. If they have time they will make up blades while I wait. They make a huge variety of wood and metal-cutting blades. If you don’t know the exact length they will measure an existing blade. They keep a lot of stock but can quickly get reels blades not in stock. I usually buy 8 or 10 at a time but they are happy to make just one.

I get my blades from Industrial Blade, in Santa Ana. They do a good job. 18007292523

I have gotten band saw blades from Anderson Saw in Hawthorne. The owner Ray retired last year, the new owners also seem to be nice people.
