72 inches. I have used 72 1/2" from Lowes with no problems.

Related question...
My Dad gave me 10 unused bandsaw blades but they're 80". Is there anyone, or a sharpening service maybe? that could shorten them to 72 so I can use them? Or should I just list them on CL or ebay?

Any place that uses continuous band saw 'blading'(strip cut to length and welded on the bandsaw) could likely do that.

Machine shop maybe?
