Inland replacement blade off brand?

Nuocmam · Apr 15, 2013

Hey guys anybody try the blades you can get off Amazon or eBay? They are way cheaper than the one from Inland. I just replaced the blade and guide(ones I got from Inland) just last month and it snapped again. So frustrated. The one that came with the bandsaw lasted me over a year. Thinking about trying these out instead.

Before you call me cheap I can get 3 blades for the price of 1 from Inland

Yes, they are the same blade just 1/3 cheaper.

I have gone through 5 blades in the last two years, not one has broken i have only had to replace them from wearing out the diamonds and over stretching. I bought the ones from Amazon.

I was wondering the same thing as my blade needs to be replaced. Is there also a good place to get cheaper plastic blade guides etc?? Thanks!

The blade guides are cheap already. $4-$5 each. But I have to say I ordered a couple from Aquarium Specialty and the shipping was less than $2. Must be some honest folks over there not charging me $5-$10 for shipping something that fits in an envelope. HTH.

I purchased half a dozen from Amazon, have been using one for about 4 months now, no problem and I frag/trim A LOT. They are just as good or better than the inland ones.

I just ordered from Inland and get this, $20 to ship one blade 0.0 ....$20 dollars!? AND it took them 5 business days from first contact to product shipmentment.

I used the ones you can find on amazon/eBay much cheaper for the same thing. Will do the same now for my Gryphon, blades are just a tad bit bigger

Nuocmam · May 17, 2013

I've been using the knock offs now for at least a month. Used it 2-3X a week and its been working well.

i think they're the same quality blades. yeah, the blades are way cheaper at ebay/amazon. maybe you're rushing a bit now compared to before? i remember first time, i was super cautious and went slow.
also the stuff you're cutting, maybe it's more sturdier? good luck ;-)
