My 1/8" bandsaw blade arrived yesterday and now I am contemplating whether I should return it or keep it?
I guess it could come in handy someday if I decided to do some fine scrollsaw type cutting...

Thanks. I was looking at a site that had Lenox blades for about $30 but the shipping was outrageous at $16 for ground.

Thanks Euclid. I think I may stay far away from G10 then. Haha

Max, who sells a good bi-metal blade for my 10" Craftsman that I could use if I decide to try some G10?

Ok. lol
I have a piece of 1/8" Micarta on the way so that should be an easy cut.

Here's the link. 1/4" x 0.025 PC & RK Series Timber Wolf® band saw blade - PS Wood Machines

Thanks Max. Timber Wolf's site says the 14 TPI blades are for metal as well so I am not sure how well they will hold up.

Thanks Max. It looks like Timberwolf doesn't sell a bi-metal blade so I guess I will need another if I ever want to cut G-10. Will the ones I bought be OK with Micarta?

I went and ordered a 1/4" 14 TPI blade as well as I think it will be the workhorse for scales.

Thanks Max. The blade that came with my Craftsman 10" is a 6 TPI so I thought it was too rough for Micarta, G-10, etc.

Now I am wondering if I bought the wrong blade. :shrug:

Thanks Euclid. I was wondering if an 1/8" blade was too flimsy but it was recommended to me and I am new to bandsaw use. I have used many wood tools but not a bandsaw.

I went and ordered a Timberwolf 1/8” x 14 tpi x .025 blade from PS Wood Machines.
I hope this is a good blade for scale material.

1/8" x 0.025 HP Series Timber Wolf® Band Saw Blade - PS Wood...

Thank You Richard. Much appreciated my friend.
I didn't see any 70.5" blades on HF's site.

This fine tooth one is rated high on Amazon and it's just over $16 with shipping.
...

I found the older thread from when I first bought my saw and am just now getting it set up.
Brands of blades to use would be appreciated. I don't want to spend a lot though as I am on a tight...

I bought a 10" Craftsman bandsaw which came with one blade and I was wondering what is recommended for Micarta, G-10, horn, bone, etc?
Not sure how many TPI the stock blade has.

Thanks

Mike
