I have been out of woodworking for 4 years and now I can not remember the
name of the company that supposedly made the best quality bandsaw blades and
also for a decent price. Any help on this queery?

Really depends upon what you're doing with the bandsaw ... Timber Wolf's
seem to be popular for general run-of-the-mill cutting and they are
"decently priced", but I've not had that good luck with them for resawing
lately. AAMOF, made me think they changed something since they first hit the
market a few years back?

Lennox ProII blades, and Highland Hardware's "Wood Slicer", are two of the
top rated brands for resawing, but neither are cheap ... in the $30 range
for their best 1/2" resaw blades.

YMMV ...

My favorites at http://www.timberwolf1.com/ Though you missed the 20% off
sale. I didn't....

So get a 50% off sale by buying Olson blades... they cut better than the
Timberwolf blades, and really do cost only about half as much.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

I bought a Wood Slicer recently, compared to the Delta 1/2 inch blade
WOW.

Woodslicer, through Highland Hardware. There is no comparison to other
blades for the price. Don't waste your money on Timberwolf.

BC Saw is my current preference. I find their blades to run better in my saw
and the 3tpi skip tooth blade does a great re-saw.

I'm sure all the blades mentioned on this thread are good. I use
timberwolf, although all my cutting is either 1/4" blade for curve
cutting or I use their special 1/2" blade for cutting bowl blanks
(which works amazing).

I agree with the other posters that if you are going to resaw, it might
be a good idea to invest in something a little more "premium" than
timberwolf. I don't resaw, so it's not an issue with me.

I also like the fact that timberwolf blades need less tension to run
than a typical blade.

The BC Saw blades are much less expensive than most. :-)

When I bought my 16" MiniMax, it came with a 1" resaw blade that at the time
I was informed it was an "Olson". I also ordered a 1" timberwolf at the same
time.

Resawing some 12" white oak, about 100 linear feet, killed the tiiberwolf. I
also pretty much wore out the Olson after resawing a few green mesquite logs.

Both were rather disappointing in my opinion, but the cost was low. Next on
the list for me to try will either be a Highland Hardware or one of the
lennox carbides.

You can always try http://www.grayind.com

They have Lenox blades, they have a blade called Kerf Master that is
identical to the Highland Hardware Woodslicer. You have to call by
phone to get it. They have a weld break guarantee and on their Lenox
blades they have a Guaranteed Trial Order.
