duckkisser Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Highland woodworking. Woodslicer short and to the point must be a decent blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNehlsEnd Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 WoodCraft has a premier 3/4" carbon blade that cuts smooth and straight and has stayed sharp cutting hardwood. I've re sawn oak and walnut with it and am still using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodhack Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 I agree with Mike regarding the Woodslicer, I've had much success with it but if budget is not an issue, the Resaw King blade from Laguna is the best resaw blade I've ever seen. Words can't describe how smooth and clean it cuts. The resulting piece needs a light sanding and it's ready to go. However, this resawing wonder will cost you $1.73 per inch. You do the math.

duckkisser Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 im not worried about making a perfect cut the first time. im looking for a blade that is great for cuting up logs so we can dry our own small pieces of lumber in the class room. as time goes on and i make more delicate pieces ill buy a better blade.

dwacker Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 was wondering what company people buy their band saw blades from? want something that keeps a sharp edge for a while so i can cut up a bunch of soft maple logs. Highland wood slicer is a great blade. For longevity you wont beat a carbide blade like the laguna or similar but they are expensive.

Dave's Not Here Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 The Bladerunner from Iturra Design is the same blade as the Woodslicer but less expensive. Iturra does not have a website but Louis Iturra can be reached at 904-642-2802. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croessler Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Personally I like the TimberWolf 3/4" 3TPI blade. It tracks wonderfully and cuts like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
