I had a 1/2 x 105" 3TPI hook tooth band saw blade.

I had bought it thinking I needed a blade, and could not get a

SUCKS.

After uncoiling it and running it for about 30 minutes it has a set in
it that won't come out. On high tension I still can't get it to run
clean. This is going in the trash and will be the last Olson I'll ever
buy...

Jeff, I have tried Olson, Timberwolf and Carter bandsaw blades.

The absolute best I have found is the house blade from Highland Hardware.


Not trying to start a brand war, but my saw came with several 1" 3TPI
Olson's, they dulled way too quickly. Same with the Timberwolf blades I
replaced them with.

I didn't find a good blade until I tired the HH stock

Anybody got a link? I just did a google search for Highland Hardware
Bandsaw Blade and got Highland Woodworking for most results below the paid
listings.



For your purposes Highland Hardware = Highland Woodworking. If you are
looking for their house brand resaw blade then it is in this neighborhood:

I find them to be pretty good blades overall but like any others they can
start to get a bit 'funny' when they feel like it -- first they are
tracking and cutting perfectly then they aren't.
