I recently bought a quantity of bandsaw blades on ebay, figuring that
I could use some of them in my home shop..and all are too long.
I think..think that some/most of these are bimetal Starretts..but only
two of them still have the labels on them
(10) 3/4" 14T.. 14' 6" (176")
(4) 5/8" 14T..14' 6" (176")
(8) 1" 11T..12' 1" (145")
(1) 1 1/4" 4T..14' 6" (176")
(2) 1/2" 14T 9' 10" (Starett)
Make me an offer for any you are interested in, plus shipping from
93268 or 91763
If no interest..Ill take em to Reliable Tools and see if I can swap em
for the 5/8" 93" blades I need.

Hmm ... those 5/8" ones (item #4) are long enough to be cut down
and re-welded to make four single blade ones, and two more with parts of
two blades each -- assuming that your bandsaw has a functional welder.
Enjoy,

Ayup..I might do this. I can tig em back together or take em to a shop
and have em done with a blade welder. Ive 3 blade welders..and none of
them work right. Or Im not bright enough to adjust the guts to work
right. Ive welded blades with blade welders many times..dont know why
mine dont work properly. Shrug.

With a simple shop-made jig they can be silverbrazed. Grind a slow
taper on each part with the jig at a wheel, overlap with the jig so
the lap is flat and the teeth are aligned, silverbraze. Might need
to pick a few teeth clear with a dremel and a cutoff wheel. Not as
fast as welding, but it definitely works.
