Any interest in a group buy on bandsaw blades?

[MesquiteMan]

I don't think I have ever seen a group buy on bandsaw blades and have never done a group by so maybe there is a reason! Suffolk Machinery, the makers of Timberwolf bandsaw blades, offers some pretty good quantity discounts that might make it worthwile to do a group buy with them. The breakdown is like this:

10-19 blades 15% discount
20-29 blades 25% disc.
30+ blades 30% disc.

For a 1/2 AS series blade that will fit my bandsaw it would be $19.96 with no discount, $16.96 at first level, $14.97 second level, and $13.97 for the 3rd level. All orders over $75 ship free so the shipping would not be a concern from them. I also think a number of blades could fit in the $8.05 flate rate box.

What do you all think? Would it be something to try?

I'm getting real close to needing a new blade. I would be in for 2.

Great idea Curtis! I'd be in for two as well. I hope they allow 'mix and match' for the quantity discount, I have a feeling theres going to be a lot of different sizes needed.

 

[tipusnr]

I'd be in for two myself. Let me know when you need the sizes.

Just checked - would like one 1/4" and one 1/2" at 72.5".

 

[jthompson1995]

I'd definitely be in for at least two.

I'll take a couple also[8D]

I'd be in for a few. Been puting off placing my order with them for the past several months.

 

[mewell]

I'd be willing at least check the price on a couple!

If I can get a 59-1/2" 1/2" blade, I would buy 3 or 4.

Good idea Curtis!

I will check how many I have left but I might order a couple also. I can pick up both mine and Ben (bca1313) too. []

I was just getting ready to order my usual order of 4...I'm in if it will happen soon....in the next week to 10 days.
Do a good turn daily!

I would be interested in a couple of 105" blades if the price is right.

 

[clewless]

I'm interested too.

 

[Mudder]

I would like 4

 

[alparent]

I need 59 1/2" also. Depending on price and shipping, I would go for a couple also.

I stile have the original blade on my bandsaw. What would be the best one to buy? I mainly cut blanks, resaw planks into blanks. I like to use hard woods (ebony, ironwood, etc).

Any suggestions?

 

[Snazzypens]

do they do real small bandsaw blades...like for the GMC bandsaws because we can't get the blades at the moment and my father in law and I are both in need

I expect that Suffolk Machinery can make up almost any size blade; but it might be a good idea to mention exactly what size you need just to be sure.

 

[MesquiteMan]

OK, it looks like we have enough interest to get the best discount! I will contact Suffolk to make absolutely sure they allow mix and match. I know they allow it for clubs because my AAW Chapter did a group buy.

As soon as I hear back from them I will post a new message with all the details. Thanks for the interest!

 

[JasonF]

Thanks for doing this Curtis!

Curtis I will be in for 3
