Repost, forget to include Rockler website. :-)

Thanks to all the ideas. I ended up getting 2 extra Olsen blades from
Rockler, 3/8 and 5/8 inch, and the cool blocks. I suspect I will try
these and see what they do. Now if only Griz would ship by air at the
same rip-off freight price!

Rich.....

Should have purchased your Olsen blades from Coastal Tools,
as I had and they're the cheapest I found in Internet.
Wonder if there are anyone cheaper?

Comparison between Rockler and Coastal Tools

Neither of them carry the blade I like, which is a 3/16 x 4 hook, skip
tooth blade like this one: (never bought anything from this place, just
a reference)

I cut everything with a blade like that, I even resaw (6") with it. I
always bought my blades from a company a mile from my house. They sold
industrial blades to industry, but would make up blades for anyone that
walked in I guess, at least they did for me. Occasionally I would get a
blade that would break quickly, but 99% of them were surprising in there
durability. This type of blade cuts fast and furious, can cut small
radius and is all I need. Once I stumbled over this blade
configuration, I never changed for another blade. I originally bought
it to cut out names in 2x's for people. I wanted something that cut
small radius. I liked it better than all my other blades for general
use. Cuts a little rough but it is a band saw after all...
