Band Saw Knives

Recommended Posts

I recently inquired about having some band saw knives welded for me by a local company here in Central PA - The York Saw and Knife Company. I have a 14" saw with a 6" riser block which puts my blade requirements at 105". York Saw and Knife can make 1/4" x 105" x .020 double beveled blades for a cost of $23.75 each, but they have a minimum order of 6 blades. I've been looking into using band saw knives for those really thick welts where nothing else cuts really well, but 6 blades is a little more than I care to buy.

For those who do not know what a band saw knife is, it is a band saw blade with a sharpened smooth or serrated edge instead of the standard toothed edge of a wood cutting or metal cutting blade. It is useful in the meat processing industry as well as for textile and foam cutting.

I figured I would check to see if anyone was interested in making this a group buy? I can pick them up locally and send them out at cost + shipping. Be forewarned. From what I read, working with a band saw knife is not for the faint of heart or those with short attention spans... Cut-resistant gloves or full stainless mesh gloves may be something to consider.
