Hi John, I knew the blades were scarce but didn't think they were non existent. Making a link and using 12" blades is the way I would go. |
| JD:
Baron, have found a supply of blades, yesterday ordered one of each 12" and 14" to get the size correct. Also today phoned a long forgotten tool supplier in Gosport :Doh: he has the sizes I want. Apparently a 13" blade was never made so fingers crossed. John W |

JD, Found these on Ebay. Searched for 330 mm instead of 13 inch http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-POWER-HACKSAW-BLADES-13-x-1-x-6tpi-British-330mm-/150191450156 Any good? Cheers Sean |
| BaronJ:
Hi John, Sean, Since 330 mm is for all intents and purposes 13" they should be ok ! However 6 tpi is a little bit coarse for steel, fine for cast iron though. With a blade that coarse I would worry about it jamming in the cut. The seller quotes "322" mm between holes, double check that your machine can accommodate them. |
| JD:
Gents thanks for your input, problem solved took the blade frame apart yesterday what I thought was a roll pin on the rear blade adjuster turned out to be a grub screw :doh: so after cleaning and fettling I now have full adjustment for the blade :thumbup: length of blade turns out to be 12".
