Supplier for circular blades

[Canuck]

I purchased a manual strap cutter late last year. As always, one is told that it can do more and is in better condition then it actually is.

I have refurbished it and had spacers made so that I can cut multiple straps in numerous widths. It has been modified so that it can be taken apart quickly and easily to change out the bushing spacers. The top roller is one solid piece. It has more grooves cut into it to facilitate the different positions of blades.

I now need cutting blades that look like this.

I have contacted a Disston head office but they don't make this item.

Wondering if anyone has a source for these.

Thanks

Robert

Thanks, I have a call into them. They didn't have parts for the Randall strap cutter on the web page.

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately Randall number only works in the States. I have a call in with a Texas dealer but haven't heard back.

Both Artisan and Hoffman Brothers were helpful but they don't carry the size I require. The standard appears to be 80mm OD and 40 ID mine are 64mm OD and 39mm ID. It might be possible to have the 80mm machined down to 65mm I would have to check that out.

Specialty blades would make me a set but the initial set-up fee would be $1200-1500. then the cost of machining. I nixed them.

I will keep plugging away. In the meantime I'll have a look at dressing the blades I do have.

Update,

Dan at Randalls Machinery was very helpfull. He has some refurbished blades that may work. He can also re-sharpen the blades I currently have for a decent price and I may just go ahead and go that route.

I will update this later

Hey Canuck,

Nice machine ya got there! Looks familiar!

Check out Simards in Ontario as well, they are very good with blades.

I'll check my stock and see if I have any spare ones.

Hi Andy. The machin is OK, I've put a lot of work into it and soon it will be operational. Simards don't have any, or carry this size of blade. If you have any spares that would be great.
