Now that I've installed the riser kit and plan to put the saw into more
use, what are recommended brands for 105" blades? Any I should avoid?
Any recommendation on must have sizes?

Thanks

I think you are going to find that recommended brands may or may not
work. Try one and if you like it buy it again. Some saws like some
brands better than others.

Here's another place to try...

I've been ordering these blades for many years, ad they've always performed very well for resawing.

What about sawing logs? I have much Black Walnut I plan to use and would
like to cut them. The smaller ones are 6" to 8" in dia and about 13" in
length but I have a few much larger ones as well.

Thank you

Speaking as someone who hasn't done any resawing, I would use a 3/4"
blade with maybe 4 teeth per inch. You could even go heavier if you
bandsaw can handle more (I doubt it), and for the same reason, I am
cautious as to how much "hook" you would like in the blade. "None" seems
less likely intuitively (to me) to cause problems, even if some might
make the task easier. Probably you can find published guidelines; maybe
in Bird's, "The Bandsaw Book" which I read a while back.

Do you really think you need a 3/4" blade on a 14" saw? Amazing what a
good 1/2" blade can do. Just because you can do something does not mean
you should do it.

I agree. Those smaller logs, are they green (wet)? If they are, I'd end cap them with glue and toss them in the attic for a couple of years or if they would fit in your microwave, you could dry them much faster.
If they are dry, I'd square them up (2 sides), then slice to my desired thickness.

That's exactly what I did. They are several years old. I sealed them
when I first received them and now ready to do some work with them.

if you microwaved them you would dry them too fast and harden them.
So no.
attic also too fast without control.

I resaw green wood then sticker it and let it air dry.

If you wait until it is dry it is much harder.

I don't doubt you at all. It's just that after resawing, I'd hate to
wish I had used a wider blade. Are you saying it's bad for the saw, or
something else?

Most 14" saws won't be strong-enough-backed to be able to adequately
tension a 3/4" blade. I don't recall which saw it was you said you
have, but if it's one of the Delta knockoffs rather than an older, solid
Delta, I'd be extremely reluctant to stretch the point.

It'll not resaw any better and will be considerably worse if you can't
properly tension the blade.

I'd also wonder what you've got for power--if you start trying to resaw
seasoned walnut at full throat capacity, you're talking quite a lot of
material and you may find just a typical import "1/2"-hp ain't agonna'
cut it.

The key point I'd ask is what does the manufacturer's operator's guide
say for blade size limit? The old Delta's (890 and the like) would take
a 3/4"; I'm not sure whether they more recent versions are still as
stout or not...

I have heard the same thing. I recently spoke with the gentleman from
one of the suggested links provided here and he indicated the same thing
about the blade thickness and the size of the wheel. 14" wheel is
pushing it whereas a 16" would be much better. Plus, as was noted, the
overall power can make a difference. Trying to bend thicker metal on a
smaller radius puts great stress on it.

A 14" saw just doesn't have the power, unless its a laguna 2hp or better.

The small saws just can't feed that blade rumor has it.

I recommend two.
One I have used, and one I am going to use.
Timberwolf 3 or 4 TPI 1/2 (I have used and is great)
Highland Woodslicer 3 or 4 tpi (want to use)

Not impressed with the Olson blades.

I've never seen so many positive reviews about any other vendor on any
of the larger woodworking forums. (sawmillcreek, lumberjocks,
ncwoodworker):

For green wood (resawing logs), I have had good results with the Highland
Woodworking woodturner blade:

http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/w...dsawblade.aspx

It has a bit wider kerf than most bandsaw blades, so it doesn't clog or
bind up in green wood the way most blades do. I mostly do resawing with my
bandsaw so I usually use this blade for everything (dry or green).

For a smoother cut in dry wood, the Woodslicer blades are supposed to be
good.

Hello,

I can't get you Exactly but some how i feel You stuck about which brand you use for Riser kit right?I Suggest go through Band Saw Blades Brand i know it's Costly but it is long lasting You don't need to change again and again.after using that you feel it's cheaper then to buy new one again and again.
