attractive prices...
LENOX blades... Not sure where you are at so I can't say...
Many industrial suppliers of bandsaw blades have LENOX blades they will make to 'your' length... Mostly these shops do metal working stuff but some also do 'wood'.. Look in your Yellow Pages....
I like http://www.carbide.com Be sure to check out their bi-metal blades. Iturra has good prices too.
Lenox has really great bandsaws. I was a tooling salesman for 8 years. They have bands for cutting steel and they have wood bands. Usually I would not recommend bi-metal for wood because they cost so much more. Carbon-steel bands are very adequate, and they come in various tooth configurations.
I bought these bands for resale from eastside Saw in Bellevue, WA. They will take an order and ship also. If you ev er get into fine resawing, Lenox has a carbide tipped band that cuts very clean, and lasts a long time. The reason it cuts so clean is that all of the tips are ground to size.
I am not sure what the brand mine are, because they have to make them for me, however there is a nice discount for buying 10 or more. I get them at Memphis machine. 1 800 388 4485
