1/8" Band Saw Blades

[David Blankenshp]

I used to be able to get a 1/8" band saw blade 7.5 TPI from sears in an 80" length. They have discontinued them. Any idea where I can get them now.
Thanks
David

David...14 tooth 1/8" blades seem to be the norm. Its what I have used for years. You should be able to do anything with a 14 tooth that you can do with a 7 tooth. The only problem I have with the 14 tooth is the teeth gum up if you are cutting resinous woods like purpleheart or bloodwood. I have to stop and soak the blade in some Formula 409 for a few minutes.

Thanks for the info. I started buying the 1/8" 7.5TPI in 1983 from sears and they have just discontinued it.
