I have a fellow woodworking friend who sold me on a new blade. After seeing everything he re-sawed for a very large project I decided on purchasing one.
It is the Lenox Tri-Master carbide tipped. I got the 3/4 inch that has 3 tpi.
I put it on the saw yesterday and got the band saw all set up for the new blade.
Then for the test cut. I had a small scrap piece of shedua that was about 1in thick. I drew a line down the center of it. Then with no guide I just wanted to free hand it and see what happened. Well it cut perfectly down the center of that line like it was locked in on it. The cut it very smooth too. I gave it 2-3 passes through the Performax drum sander and had 2 perfectly matched pieces. I was highly impressed with the blade.
About the only thing I do with the band saw is re-saw. So I figured I could justify the higher price tag that goes with this blade.
I got it from Highland Woodworking. The best re-saw blade I have ever used.
