Do a Google search for "resawing".

There are many options. Most bandsaws with a decent blade can resaw 4in
stock.

The search should show the many times blades like TimberWolf and Highland
Hardwares "Wood Slicer" are frequent recommendations.

You want a blade with fewer teeth, e.g, 4 tpi or less. Different people
will give different blade width recommendations. Personally I go with the
largest blade which my bandsaw can handle (1in). This is very stable for
me when resawing and if the saw is tuned the cut is straight with no
wondering.

I expect 1/2in would be the minimum blade width for this task.

I am using a 4t pi TimberWolf blade.

Whatever saw you get, spend the time to tune it. Buy or read Mark
Duginski's excellant bandsaw book. Search for his name should find the
book name. I used this to tune my saw. It made a big difference.

Does anyone have a Bandsaw(Brand & model) and blade recommendation for
cutting thin pieces(slices) off of wood or Delrin?

(The pieces will be a maximum of 4 inches thick or 4 inches diameter).

Thanks a lot.

I think the spelling is "Duginske". Which is better, "Band Saw Bench Guide"
or "Bandsaw: A Workshop Bench Reference"?
Thanks,
