    Vintage Bandsaw Blade width

    Thanks for the advice. This is my first bandsaw and it has 3/4 inch wide tires so would the upper limit be the largest size that can center in the tire without hitting the rim of the wheel. And what governs how narrow a blade I could run.

    Vintage Bandsaw Blade width

    I am getting ready to order blades for my 103.0103 bandsaw and was wondering what the rule is for what width certain bandsaws can run. I would like to buy three, one for resaw, one multipurpose and one for tight corners.

    Mystery Tool

    Heres a better pic if that helps. Every one has different numbers on it but in the format I previously stated. MC number on one side and a decimal number on the other. The only difference between them that I could tell is that they are different lengths. [/URL][/IMG]

    Craftsman 103.0103 Band saw lower shaft

    I found a longer 5/8 shaft from different bandsaw for 15 bucks. I can probably cut it to size and grind a couple flats for the pulleys but I dont know how to cut the key way without a mill.
