10" bandsaw blade - how long?
keith zimmerman, Normal IL
>I have a Craftsman 10" bandsaw and want to replace the blade with a timberwolf. Problem is, there is nothing in the owner's manual even close to suggesting the correct length the blade should be.
Can anyone help me and tell how long the blade would be on this thing. I don't want to take the current blade off to make a measurement.
Thanks in advance.

Piece of string?

>Take a piece of string, run it around the wheels just like a blade, cut it or mark it, take it off and measure it.
Curt
31.5" + twice the distance between axles
