Default Wood Slicer - Thank You

To everybody who has mentioned the Woodslicer bandsaw blades. THANK YOU. I
bought one (well two) and a couple sets of Cool Blocks to replace the blade
and blade guides on my little Ridgid bandsaw. All I can say is wow. The
bandsaw sits out in the middle of the shop floor so its always handy even
when the radial arm and the table saw are rolled out of the way or covered
in stuff they shouldn't be. As a result I find myself often using the
bandsaw for stuff its not really intended for like severing 2x for blocking.
This blade may go bad in time, but for now its dead easy to make a cut, and
they are about as I would like without any special effort or turning stock.
I even using the miter gage on the table now.

AND IT CUTS, NO effort at all. Its like a quality deli slicer through a
tomato. NICE!!!

It will never do for fine scroll work, but to be honest I didn't think it
would... and I am very ok with that. I have some skinny little blades for
scroll work if I want to do that, but I haven't used one since I finished
the hardwood floors in my house. Ten years ago.

They didn't have a blade that was the "exact" length listed for my saw, but
they had one that was close enough. It was within the adjustment range for
the saw. These blades make my bandsaw as good and as useful as my table
saw. For different types of jobs of course.
