32 TPI bandsaw blades?

[Bill DeShivs]

Searched, but no luck. Who sells good 32 TPI bi-metal blades for the 64-1/2" saw?
Thanks!

That was a tough search, found lots of 100' to 500' rolls

Thanks, John-but those are carbon steel wood cutting blades.

 

[John Katt]

The discription says wood and metal,RC hardness 64-66, must be a difference between those and bi-metal then hey?

 

[Bill DeShivs]

They might work, or might not. Usually, the bimetals are advertised as such, though.

per haps the contionoius carbide grit is what they replace that with - not cheap.

I may give up on the 32s and stick with 24s. Thanks for looking, everyone.
I'm toying with the idea of a portaband-type saw (bench mounted) in addition to my 4 X 6. I like the idea, but can't think of a real reason to do it. Any ideas to justify it?

If you like the idea, then do it.

You can always stop later.

Two different teeth pitches possible.

You know, I have 8 (or 9) buffers. Another saw isn't unreasonable.........
