Bandsaw blade
It's a long time since I bought any bandsaw blade and things have certainly changed. I'm after a 30 metre coil of Starrett 1/4" x 14 tpi flexible back but finding that size seems impossible unless it's cut & welded in short lengths to suit a particular machine. Even Blackwoods carry nothing now so it looks like their 2010 catalogue is now useless.
Please let me know if there's anyone in Australia who still stock 30M lengths of 1/4" or even 3/8" x 24tpi raker tooth bandsaw blade.

Thanks for the offer Steve but I've still got a couple of 14tpi blades. I've got near full rolls of 1/4 x 24, 3/8 x 10 & 1/2 x 6 so I'm not desperate. I just thought I'd buy a roll to put on the shelf .... it ain't that easy now.
Ebay only have 4 tpi ATM.

Got talking to a mob called Excision at the NMW show in Melb recently about blades for my saw. Based out of Hamilton Vic. Seemed helpful.
A quick search shows they have agents all over the country. All the usual disclaimers.
So no doubt have been using their blades unknowingly. I say this cause just found out my local saw doc is an agent for em.Frisky wife, happy life. Then I woke up. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".
