I bought the blades form Princess Auto, super cheap. They were 64" long and 1/2" wide, if I recall correctly. I then sourced a company in town that sharpens industrial bandsaw blades and had them cut to the proper length and welded. I bought two just in case one broke or became dull. That's probably the cheapest route you can take. Generally speaking, you want at least 3 teeth in what ever you're cutting. I would have prefered an 18T or even higher but 16T was all i could find.

bandsaw blades are cheap, so most machine shops just toss them out when they break or get dull. If you find an "old school" machine shop they probably have a bandsaw blade weld station and will cut and weld your blade for little or no cost.

All that I can say is simply amazing!!! And now I have the unimog bug. I think I will be building me one of these over the winter. Just got to get rid of a rig first so the old lady doesn't lose her marbles... She'll get over it. BRAVO

don't be mistaken, the project is done and I won't be updating. I like a good CNC made project just as much as the next guy, but it can be kind of alienating for those of us who don't have the training or access to a shop.

I don't have any training in machining except for a highschool class I took ages ago. I work in Architecture so I have access to CAD, which may give me an advantage. Everything else was made with simple shops tools. So, if anyone wants to tackle a project but is unsure, keep at it. A great deal of things can be done cheaply and effectively without a full machine shop

feel free to ask me specific questions
