Hi Guys & Gals
I need to get a couple of spare blades for my bandsaw.
It takes a 2362 x 19 x 0.8.
There is no markings on the current one but the guy I bought it from said it was a HSS one that he got whilst in France.
What does the panel think I aught to buy and what TPI, at the moment I am using a 10 tpi on EN 1 A and it seems to work well enough.

Either of those sites look good, but Kevin, I'd be a bit worried about his biscuits that he advertises, even dunked they might be a bit hard with your morning tea (wooden, for joining wood). Ian S C

Just a quick question about band speed and feed rates.
I am chopping slices from a 3" diam round bar (steel).
It's taking about 8 to 10 minutes per cut.
The chips are more like iron filings that flakes/chips.
Do you think I should up the feed rate a little, I'm not so bothered as the saw seems comfortable and it's cutting nice and straight.
What does the panel think ? (Thanks for the help so far)

That's the test for me, if it ain't broke...

I use tuffsaws blades too BTW.

I guess that is very true.

I see Chester to them for £10.48, whether bimetal or carbon steel. Carbon steel ones must finally be getting rarer!

I bought a Draper cross-cut handsaw the other day and was astounded to discover it wasn't bimetal! Something to use my saw-set and saw file on properly at last
