Default Resaw Blade Advice

I have experience with two different resaw blades:

Timberwolf 4 tpi 3/4" wide

Woodslicer 1/2" wide

The Timberwolf is the tougher of the two blades, my Woodslicer I had to
have rebrazed as it broke AWAY from the weld several inches. Since
them I have not reinstalled it.

The Timberwolf is a faster cutting blade, but leaves a rough surface.

The Woodslicer is at least 2x as smooth.

However, scuttlebug on the net is that a carbide tipped blade is ideal
for exotics and large resaw bandsaws. My saw is a Ryobi BS50N, which
they made many years ago when Ryobi was not just a consumer brand.
Wish I could have found the BS360NR at the time as it would have been
my LAST bandsaw.
