Source for bi-metal bandsaw blades

[Phil705]

I need one or two new 64 1/2" x 1/2" bi-metal bandsaw blades, 18-24 tpi. Prices seem to be all over the map, as is shipping. What brands would you recommend, and sources please.

Mark Knapp, one of the forum members & super knife maker, sells bi-metal blades.
He made up a batch for me a short while back that I use for resawing.
Man they cut nice and outlast my old blades so long that there is no way to compare.
I was very happy with the blades and the service I got from Mark.

This is who I use and have been very happy with them. They make about 4 different sizes for me for both my wood and metal cutting saws.
They do all the welding for Lennox from what I have heard.

Thanks for the replies. Shipping can be a real bite with some dealers. Any more suggestions?

The site i provided above ships free if you order $100.00 or more.

I have orderd several times from the Tool Center and have been pleased with the delivery time and shipping cost. I got 3 blades shipped for around $75. Not bad since I can't but them locally.

There's always Fastenal.

You can check locally at Grainger, McMaster Carr, Home depot did carry replacements for a while but my local no longer carries them, they worked as well as any bimetal.

McMaster Carr reasonable price and little or no markup on shipping. Using one of there blades right now

I've been using the M-42 bi-metal blades from Magnate and couldn't be happier.
