Default What bandsaw blades?

Eric Olsen wrote:

I am getting a new bandsaw with a 2 horse motor. I know very little about
the ins and outs of bandsaw blades and the type of cutting they do best. The
saw will handle from 1/8 inch to 1 inch in width. What type of blades should
I have? I will be doing some resawing and I will also want to cut some thin
veniers from certain woods. I of course will be using it for basic cuts as
well.

Any insight that keeps me from ruining good blades, wood or throwing away
money would be helpful

Check out Suffolk Machinery's web site at:

http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/

They make the highly recommended "Timberwolf" blades. They have some very good
information on bandsaws and blades on their web site. Pay special attention to
"Important - Did You Know", "The Six Rules Of Sawing" and "Troubleshooting" on
the left side of the screen.
