Title: Blade size
Post by: AtLast on June 18, 2003, 03:31:38 PM
I currently use Lennox bladers 16"3" x 1 1/4 x .042...I was looking at the Timber Wolf blades catalog and all they show is 16" and 16' 6"..is it because they dont make that size OR do I order the 16' and use a stretcher  ;D

I would think you've not got that much adjustment. I've heard of people getting a blade as much as 1" shorter and not even being able to get it over the wheels.

3" in length, one way or the other is going to require an 1-1/2 and more of adjustment travel - one way or the other more than what it would take to be slack or to tighten it.  

I suspect they'll supply you the blade you need even if it's not in their catalog.

I got 16' 4" blades from Timberwolf.  Just call them and they will weld to your needs.

Just in case you would like to try Wood-Mizer blades, they too will make blades to your application - not just for Wood-Mizer mills.

Mary once delivered some re-saw stock to a wood novelty shop. They used Wood-Mizer blades in their equipment and didn't even know Wood-Mizer made mills and re-saws. ::)

I read in some of Timber Wolf's literature that they will weld you up any size blade for the price of the next longer blade they stock.

Here is what the formatting looks like in curly brackets (so you can see them)
