Hi everyone
I have been using bandsaw blades from ChesterUK for my Chester H80
Bandsaw. Size of blade 1300 x0.63 x12.5mm. Who do you recomende for
replacement blades. I pay about £8 per blade at Chester. I am looking
for long life over cheapest price. Cutting is 80% steel 20%
ali.Sections vary from 10 x10mm up to 100x100mm. What sort of blades
should I be using,and most inportantly how tight should I be running
the blade.? just tight enouth to stay on or as tight as I can get it?
Any help welcome.

Mike

Current price is about £14.50 + VAT but I am getting excellent life from
them.

Sadly Dragon Saws is no more! The bank pulled the plug on them a couple
of weeks back. AFAIK Ian John is considering setting up again from out
of the ashes of the dragon (Phoenix Saws??) I hope they keep their
temper - lol
If I hear anything from Ian ,via another forum where he announced the
demise of Dragon, I'll post here.

Yes it is a real shame. Obviously even worse for Ian. I have had
cracking good service from directly from ian - lots of free advice and
next delivery blades for my 18-s-1 Startrite. I hope he will get the
backing to start up again. I've no idea how many blades per day make a
business for Ian though - I guess he needs more than enthusiastic
amateurs ordering in ones and twos though!
