Thread: Which bandsaw blades?

Timber Wolf are good blades, have use them for years. Don’t know about 1/8 in blades, a 1/4 or 3/8th might be better.

1/8 in blades break easy, if a saw is not set up for that blade, too few teeth, and trying to do finish work, (sawing to the line), are where folks get into trouble with a band saw. Rough cut, finish by hand with rasps, files, sand paper or belt sander and router if you have one, are better solution.

Though a, properly set up your band saw with the right blade, can do some near finish work.

Here is an excellent video by Alex Snodgrass, (Carter tools)

, on how to set up a band saw, (they all are very simple and similar), what to look for and dispels some bandsaw myths. If it will not cut straight, it is not properly set up.
