• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Can anybody suggest where I can buy bandsaw blades for my Kity ( 90 1/2" ) ( or 2300mm ) in Southampton over the counter ? Its years since I bought any and I would prefer over the counter rather than mail order . Any suggestions appreciated .

I get mine from Ian at Tuffsaws - really excellent service.

Nearest other place I know of is Axminster at Basingstoke?

Thanks guys - I had a look at Tuffsaws site , looks very good .

I don't remember where I bought my last lot of blades , the same 3/8" blade has been in the Kity for , oh , at least 5 years , and has been abused , cutting softwood , plastic , Perspex , acrylic , and it only showed signs of drifting to one side today , therefore I am out of touch on suppliers.

I am going to post another question about bandsaw blades separately as it think it should be another thread .

Thanks
Steve
 
Another Tuffsaws user here :)

Don't worry about service compared to over the counter - it will be better at Tuffsaws.

You can get a wide variety of blades and made to the exact size you want. My machine is on its adjustment limits when tensioning the specified blade length so I order blades 10mm shorter for a perfect fit. You can just say what you want to cut and Ian will tell you what style blade you need.

I've not bought any for ages now as the M42 blade I bought last time just keeps going.

Just looked and Tuffsaws has a new website and mention of a new larger premises. Good to see they are doing well.
 
Try an Axminster Diamond Ground blade…fantastic performance and I used to use Tuff saw blades as well. The Ax is as good - Rob
 
Just to let you know , I have ordered a couple of blades from Tuffsaws today , mentioned that his virtues are being extolled on here , he hadn't realised the woodhaven has been revived .

Thanks

Steve, thanks for telling Ian that Woodhaven2 had been set up. As we did not have contact details for all the members on the old site site it was impossible to let everyone know WH2 had been created.
