Default Delta 28-299 was 14" bandsaw

Get ceramics for it. Especially if you'll be doing a lot of work with wide
blades. I'm a turner, and they control the blade beautifully when the old
cool blocks just wore the left upper and lower like crazy.

Below 1/4, and possibly at it, you'll want soft ones.

"Normal" use shows me with 1/2" 3TPI for resawing and green wood large, 3/8"
4 TPI for green wood small, 3/8 and 1/4" 6 TPI for general purpose use, but
I own an oscillating spindle sander. For bandsaw boxes we use a 12 TPI 1/4
at the school, I've got a 3/16 with perhaps 14 at home.

Oh yes, as I've mentioned more than once, the kids stand in line at school
to get to the old Delta (and now the new) versus the Grizzly, which is an
inconsistent performer. You did good.

I'm stoked. Gotta get
some good blades for it though. The original one that came with it is

the
only one that had ever been used on it. I'd like a good assortment. Any
recommendations?
