Bandsaw blade length, Question please

Can’t say, maybe it was a factory second.

I have bought Timberwolf blades from Grizzly and direct from Sussex and they all fit with no problems. I suspect your blade may be a knock off or was mismarked as to its lengrth. Can you return it? That would be my advice.

I’m still talking to the seller… I think he wants me to pay shipping, and I already paid shipping to me from him at $10.40 already… as it is now, i’m into this blade for $35. If I ship it back to him and he pays shipping to me for another one I would be up to $45 for a single blade. I’m starting to regret using eBay to buy stuff

Find a way to measure it, measure it and file a dispute if
it’s not the size the seller claimed. You’ll win, but I bet
as soon as the seller gets the dispute email from ebay,
he’ll real quick offer to make it right at his expense.

I measured it with a tape rule… it’s 104 inches. It was listed at 105”

My Timberwolf blades are slightly blued, not plain steel colored like others I’m familiar with. I recently bought two myself via Amazon and they were shrunk on cards, had the blue look, and fit my GO555 just fine.

Kindly,

I have been dealing with Eagle America over mislabeled blades. In December I ordered 3 -3TPI resaw blades. They came quickly, I had them by the first of January. Only one would fit, the others were too long.
I used their RMA form on the back of the invoice and sent the two back. They quickly refunded my shipping, but 3 weeks later… no blades.
I checked on their website and much of their stuff was back ordered or out of stock.
When I emailed them for the third time, they told me my blades were on back order and would be shipped by the 27th of February.

Still waiting.

This one wasn’t in any type of package. It was just coiled up and tied with a couple of wire ties. The only thing that it had on it was a piece of card paper with the length, width, tpi, type hand written on it. The paper also had a picture of a wolf carrying a blade in it’s mouth.

That’s the way my Twolf blades come so it looks like you got the right blade but in the wrong size. If it’s 104” and represented as 105” the shipping should be on them. Give them Hell.

That’s only one of the reasons I do not buy anything from Ebay.

I’ve been a member on eBay for about 12 years now… Buying and selling. I’ve never had a problem purchasing before… although I have had a few who won auctions I had listed and never paid…

I just got a message from the fellow who I purchased the blade from. He is ordering a new blade, and will reimburse my shipping costs once he gets the blade he originally sent back. So, hopefully this will go okay… I always have the option of filing a dispute later if it goes bad.

sounds like a wrong will b righted. I use Timberwolf blades also. If you get on their email list, once in a while they do a buy 3 get 1 free deal. http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/ I’m very happy with their blades and have not ever had a problem with them. Good luck. Hope your problem gets fixed

Most of my blades are Timber Wolf direct from Suffolk Machinery. I can’t see the up side to dealing with a re- seller.
