 thanks jake

I posted a thread called band saw tips a wek or two ago. Links to Highland Woodworking. They sell a blade called the woodslicer that is a good blade.  Also a good tutorial on tuning bandsaws.

I buy mine from   http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/

I highly recomend the "Timber wolf" blades in 4 TPI

you can resharpen them when they get dull too.

I've also had great luck with Timberwolf blades.

Hey thanks guys that realy helps I'll check all info out an go from there thanks a lot jake

hi if you have Menards store near you try them i purchased several my size wasn't made anymore but found a 72" blade mine called for 72.75 had plenty of tension adjustment room left and say money. blade was made i think for a shopsmith saw. lawrence

The Lowes around here carry Bosch blades.  I get Olson blades at a small hardware store near me.

there are some resaw specific blades you should be able to get in widths of an inch or more.

I like the Woodslicer blade for slicing laminations,I have not used it to ruff out a selfbow,But think it may have a short life as it has no set in the teeth. I do like the Timberwolfs. Highlands GP blade is also a good value for GP cutting.
