What is a good brand to use that don't cost a fortune?
I have an old Parks 18" band-saw,it uses a 133" blade.
I mainly plan on using it to re-saw.
Should I get a 3/4" or 1" blade


When I was bandsawing quite a bit years ago Sears made a decent blade.

If you're re-sawing, then get the 1". And spend 'a fortune'. You'll
thank yourself. One blade. . set it up. . . run forever---

There's got to be some bandsaw wizards over on rec.woodworking these
days. Give them a shout.
