Should I get a 3/4" or 1" blade When I was bandsawing quite a bit years ago Sears made a decent blade. If you're re-sawing, then get the 1". And spend 'a fortune'. You'll thank yourself. One blade. . set it up. . . run forever--- There's got to be some bandsaw wizards over on rec.woodworking these days. Give them a shout. Jim |

A Wood Slicer from Highland Hardware. 3/4" will do the job well http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/w...aw-blades.aspx I use a 1/2" on my 14" saw and it works well but for yours, the 3/4" is fine. $41 for your size. |
