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
Timberwolf in time. but I did get the timberwolf. Well this blade
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 all who replied... Thank you. I already ordered a couple for my little
Rigid bandsaw. And some cool blocks. If they work out it will save me
another project. I was going to make a bearing roller setup for it like the
one on my metal cutting bandsaw.
