ID Bandsaw Blade

[paulsomlo]

I've got this Starrett Matrix blade, 5'6", 1/2" wide, 8-12 teeth, 0.025" thick. It's new and came with a bunch of stuff in an auction lot. I'd like to give it away, but don't know what saw uses it, which has hampered my efforts to get rid of it - any guesses? I really don't want to scrap it.

Simply list it with the known info and a mailing cost. With a that small of a loop, it's going to be something that is under 14".

That is almost a dead ringer for most 4x6 horizontal bandsaws. Correct depth and width. Most of them are 64.5 to 65 so a 66" blade should fit.

If no one wants it, I may be able to make use of it.

Seems to match the specs of the blade I last bought. It's pretty used up by now

Seems like an oddball size for both applications, but if you search 66" blade they are a stock item.

I tried to figure out what saw takes them and the only reference I found was a meat saw

It can always be shortened.

I did that months ago, no takers.

Let's give it a day or so - if nobody else has the saw this goes to and you think you can tension it up, then it's yours, cost of shipping.

Did you list it as 5'6" long or as 66" ?

Band saw blades are generally listed by the inches.

Here, as in this thread, or this forum? I listed in the classified section of the forum here back in December.

So your December classified was the only place you listed it.

Thanks for the suggestion - I posted this on PracticalMachinist.com and someone responded within an hour; the bandsaw blade has a new home.

Now I'm curious, did they tell you what it fit?

No - they're actually going to cut it down and use it in a portaband.

Ah dang.

My bandsaw would've used it.

What band saw?

A 20 year old HF model.

Blades are readily available, that's a non-issue. Just never tried a premium blade like the one posted.

They are relatively inexpensive, and you can have them made up to the exact length you need:
