Hi, All,

* I going to get a 14" bandsaw finally, prob the Griz, and I'm not
sure what blades to get. *I use a Woodworker 2 on the table saw, and
can see the difference between that and something from Harbor
Freight!!! *So... First: What brands are good, which ones to stay away
from?

2nd: I see hook, standard, rake teeth. *What are they, or where can I
find some descriptions? *I will probably look for 3/4 inch something
for resawing, and something smaller for general cutting. *I usually
cut oak, fir, cedar, and walnut if that matters.

Well, any help at all, will be a big help in getting started with a
band saw. *Thanks, and Happy New Year to all.

Rich.....

If I may, I'd like to extend this thread a little. I am going to get a 14"
Griz sometime in the coming year. I like to buy a good book if I'm buying a
tool *that has many uses. I have one for my table saw and router. Does
anyone have a book to recommend for the bandsaw.

Sorry for jumping on your posting Rich but you might benefit too.........??- Hide quoted text -

Agree with a good book. Did that for the table saw and a few others.
But I now live in downtown Montana, and those stores with books in the
big cities are no where to be found. Yea Internet!
