Custom band saw blades

[p111dom]

I have acquired a small band saw. Very unusual and substantial. The whole thing is cast iron even the doors! On the top wheel is written 78 Max. I've measured the blade that’s currently on it and that's about right. Looking around that’s seems to be an odd size. Axminster doesn’t do anything close enough so it will have to be a custom length job. Any recommendations for a supplier? The brand is WALMAC says made in Stirling on it. Have never heard of them myself, has anyone else?

Hamilton Edge based in Cwmbran, South Wales make up blades to the length required. Sorry I don't have any contact details to hand.
