Craftsman bandsaw blade size

[Koobs]

Hello, I recently picked up an old Craftsman Commercial horizontal bandsaw. The tag says model number 101 22923 and the serial number is 2148. I measured, and it seems like around 66”, but I want to be sure. Also don’t know what the height is (1/4”, 3/8”, etc). Everything seems to work great, just no blade!

according to the manual on VM, it is 1/2"x60".

I could not find the manual on vm. I found a similar model, but not quite the same one. I am nervous about buying one, without seeing the size in black and white. How did you find that?

Sorry, I went back and looked again. It must have been the 101.22922 saw I found before. Craftsman used many different part numbers for very similar equipment. I can't be sure, but I think that every time they changed the color of a bolt, they changed the part number. The 101.22922 and 101.2290, for example both use a 60"x1/2" blade. Can you post a picture of your saw?

I just picked up one earlier today and it’s a solid one

I got the same one and I’m trying to figure out the same thing. If you find out please post it.
