I also had an issue with blades breaking. The saw does have some flex to it (given it's design and 3-wheel format). It also is a lot of machine in a relatively small footprint. It is an extremely impressive machine from a pure details standpoint. Then I had a bunch of them made up for around $10 each around 2006 and I have been using this configuration ever since.Ĭlearly the land of enchantment is one where you can break your last blade at night or early in the morning, phone the local dealer in the morning and pick up your new custom length blades after lunch time for less than retail.I had one for a while. No such blade was commercially available so I assumed I was wrong. I decided years ago that for my typical bandsaw work and for furniture making in hardwoods roughly 3/8 to 1 inch in thickness that the ideal blade would seem to be 3/8 inches wide with 6 tpi. I would suggest you hit the web or local yellow pages and look for "saw blades" or abrasives or even contact Starrett in Massachusetts and ask them if there is someone local to you who stocks the huge rolls of Starrett bandsaw blades.
#INCA 710 BANDSAW FOR SALE UPDATE#
I doubt any of these have web sites but I will check tomorrow and update via this thread.Ī larger concern, Palm Abrasives, was setting up to make blades from the entire stock of Starrett blade stock which I am told makes for good blades.
#INCA 710 BANDSAW FOR SALE FULL#
When I have visited any of them in the last 25 years, there were usually two people cutting and welding blades full time. They also bore out super-thin Freud circular saw blades for use on the Inca 2200 12-inch cabinet saw. We have a number of shops that both sharpen circular saw blades and make up bandsaw blades to any length. I don't know where you are located as the Land of Enchantment could be Ireland or Oregon. I believe Multico may ship international. Last I checked neither the Enay store or website had the riser block listed but it probably wouldn’t hurt to contact them.
Multico Sarl/Inca also seems to have an Ebay store. I believe I’ve read that they won’t ship outside Switzerland, so you might have to arrange for a third party shipper to pick up and ship the part, or recieve the part for shipping.Īlternately you could try contacting Multico Sarl the current brand owner. At least two of the Inca bandsaw models still seem to be manufactured and sold in France, as well as many of the Mortiser models, although I think many of the other models and tools may have been dropped from production.ĭoebeli in Switzerland has already been mentioned as a source for parts. The same French company that purchased Inca may also be the company that purchased Multico, the British manufacturer known for the manufacture of chisel mortisers, or at least both brands now seem to be under the same ownership.
The French made Inca tools I’ve seen are usually painted blue, instead of the green used on the original Swiss made machines, although some of the tablesaws were also printed black do I don’t know how specific the colors were. Later, maybe in the 90s, the Inca tool brand was sold to a French company and production was switched to France. I’ve also seen old Swiss Elna sewing machines with the Inca trademark cast into the frame, so they may have made parts for a number of other companies as well. The Inca brand was also used for other items like scales, and other kitchen gadgets. The Inca brand was originally Swiss, and manufactured by a manufacturer that specialized in INjection Cast Aluminum, and other alloys, hence the brand name INCA.
