I just got my second bandsaw. A nice 14" delta that I will be using for wood rips and cutting veneers.  My other band saw I want to use for only cutting thru fibreglass (- handle shaping and cutting limb tapers thru the glass).

My question is what would be a good tooth/blade pattern for this? Oh, the "old" band saw is a little 10" general. I get the blades made up for it as it only takes 67.5" blades

Thanks everyone.

I use a "wood slicer blade" for re sawing lams.
and I use the older ones for general cutting.
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

3/4 inch , 4 tpi or similar. Try to get a blade with a fine kerf.

The only blade that will hold up to cutting fiberglass is Carbide tipped.  I use a Lennox Tri-Master, 1/2", 3 TPI.  I have cut out at least 100 bows with one blade. Do not buy the 3/8" blade as the blade thickness is too great for your 14" saw and you will experience frequent blade breakage.  The blades are pricy, around $150, but well worth it.
