When I ordered my new Grizzly bandsaw I knew that I would need some new blades to go with it.  I had used Timber Wolf blades on my old band saw and was very satisfied with their quality.  For my old bandsaw, I purchased the Timber Wolf blades at Woodcraft.  Doing that again would mean that the 4 blades that I wanted would cost me around $100 – $120.  That was more than I could afford along with the saw so I started looking around to see if I could find the Timber Wolf blades cheaper from another source.

Here’s what I found while searching for Timber Wolf blades.

Example blade specifications: 105” X ½” X 0.25”, 3PC

Woodcraft & Amazon:  $30.99
Grizzly Industrial:  $23.50 (Updated 2/13/12)
PS Wood Machines (Supplies Woodcraft who, in turn, sells through Amazon):  $22.90 (Updated 2/13/12)
Suffolk Machinery:  $21.30

Suffolk also has a one-time offer of a free silicon steel blade with the purchase of 3 other silicon steel blades.  Click here for the details.  (Updated 2/13/12:  It appears that Suffolk no longer offers the one-time free blade)

My 4 new Timber Wolf blades from Suffolk Machinery ended up costing me only $69.57 including shipping.

For re-sawing veneers, I also purchased a Wood Slicer blade from Highland Woodworking.  I couldn’t find the Wood Slicer blades anywhere else but Highland Woodworking.  I haven’t tested this blade yet but, if it’s as good as all of the reviews say, I’ll be very happy.  I’ll let you know the results as soon as I have a chance to try it out.
