Ridgid Bandsaw

[danroggensee]

Hi all I bought a BS1400 Ridgid bandsaw and in the book it says the blade size is 92 1/2 was looking to replace it with timberwolf blades but i could not find a 92 1/2 but they have a 93 1/2 will that work or can someone tell me where to get the right blade for the saw it is not one of the orange ones it is gray and was made in 1998. Thanks for all the help that i get from the people on this site they are the best. and so is the site.

Suffolk Machinery (Timberwolf) will custom size for you....any good blade producer will, also, including toolcenter.com (Lennox)

Check how much adjustment you have for tightening the blade. One inch is alot to make up for. I looked online and it says max blade length is 93.5 so I think you are safe. Both have the same model number.

From Suffolk's website:

ALL BANDSAW BLADES ARE CUSTOM WELDED TO ANY LENGTH.
IF YOUR BLADE LENGTH FALLS BETWEEN THE LENGTHS LISTED,
USE THE HIGHER PRICE (i.e. 93 1/2" blade use the 96" price).
