Does no one make these things?

I think 1/4 inch is the narrowest they make in a bi-metal blade. Olson and Starrett are the ones I checked.

Starrett has a high carbon flex back that may work for you.

Thanks Mike. Yep, I called Lenox and Olson. They both say 1/4" is the smallest they can do bimetal for technical reasons. Oh well...
I have ordered a couple of bi metal 1/2" Lenox blades for resawing tho, (toolcenter.com) hopefully I'll get much better life than I'm getting with carbon blades. Someday I'll hit the lottery and get some carbide ones.

Check with John at www.woodcraftbands.com if it's made he'll know how to get it.
