Keep in mind that to resaw wide boards that HP is not the only important

that it can be tensioned properly and not drift. Will any of the saws
that you are considering allow you to use a 1" or wider blade?

Leon, I thought the current wisdom was that a 1/2" blade was best for
resaw. Perhaps because of the tensioning you mentioned. I know the
Woodslicer is a 1/2" blade and at least one well known bandsaw book
recommends a 1/2" blade.


That really depends on the size of the saw.
An 18 or 21 inch saw can use 1" or 1 1/2 respectively.
