Default !/2" vs 3/4" Band saw blade

Ron Stitt asks:

I have a Grizzly 14" bandsaw with the riser block. I purchased a TimberWolf
3/4" wide bs blade for resawing. It seems most of the people on this group
talk about 1/2" width for resawing? Did I make a booboo? Do I need a 1/2"
wide blade instead?


I find that a lot of 14" bandsaws won't easily tension 3/4" blades. I recently
did some resawing with a 1/4" blade, and usually use a 1/2" or 5/8".

Use your 3/4" blade and don't worry about it, though.
