Can't you get stuff from Keen Edge on Edgewood Ave? I thought we used
to get blades from them when I worked downtown. I think they are still
on Edgewood. Possibley better prices than Redmond.

Suffolk Machinery (800-234-7297) recommeded a 1/2 X 3AS .032 thk blade
for green sawing to me at the Atlanta IWF show. I bought one along
with 3 other blades on a 4 for 3 sale they were having. I have some
ash trees that have to come down.

Thanks for the confirmation - that's the blade I had decided on.
They are still running the 4/3 special on their website, incidentally.
I prefer to buy locally, and possibly Wm. J. Redmond & Sons may carry
something, but I haven't checked with them yet. Rockler and Highland
Harware doesn't carry anything appropriate for "Green" wood. I
haven't checked with Woodcraft yet, but they are quite a drive...

I missed the Atlanta IWF show, I wasn't able to convince SWMBO to
go/let me go... ;-) (She's no fool.)

Just wondering what experienced bandsaw users are using these days for
milling green (recently felled) wood.

I have a Highland Hardware Woodslicer, and although it does a fine job
slicing veneers and dry wood, it doesn't seen to care for green, wet
Cherry wood much.

14" Delta w/ riser kit - urethane tires, Itura high tension spring.
10" green logs cut in half before milling on BS.

FYI, I am looking at the Suffolk Timberwolf

1/2" x 3 TPI, .032 thick, 6.5d Hook, Alternate Set blade.

Thanks,
