Need source for Preac blades

[Barry Rudd]

Does anyone have a source for Preac saw blades? I used to buy them from Thurston, but they are no longer in business. I contacted the company that bought them but they will only sell a minimum of 25 blades. I guess they’re not interested in selling retail. 
If anyone knows of a source would you please reply to me by email. My email address is :*****@gmail.com

Thank you for any help or info. 
Regards.

Try Malco - https://www.malcosaw.com/

 

By the way, it's not a good idea to post your email address on the site. You should use PMs if you want a private contact.

You're right - my bad. Try Global - https://www.globalindustrial.com/g/metalworking-tools/metalworking-saw-blades/jewelers-saws/Jewelers-Slotting-Saws-1-1-2-Diameter

MSC has a huge assortment of metal slotting blades that will fit, HSS or solid carbide if you want. The number of options in arbor dia., width and tooth count is somewhat daunting.  Just order carefully and you will get what you want.   If there is a minimum order amount I believe it's $25.00.

What is MSC?

MSC Industrial Supply.  When on their site, look under the two categories of Slitting and Slotting Saws and Jeweler's Saws.

Hi Charles

 

Big thankyou for this - I've struggled to find blades for my Preac and Byrnes saws in the UK. I googled MSC, more in hope than expectation, and was delighted to find they have a UK branch. As you say, a huge selection and, although the individual blades are a tad expensive its a lot cheaper than shipping and import duties from the States.
