Band Saw Blades: What To Order

12/16/2014


From original questioner:

I need to order some new bandsaw blades for a 14 inch Rockwell bandsaw. Have had good luck in the past with Lennox blades for sawzalls & jig saws etc.

I need a 1/4 inch blade for random curved work in 2 inch oak, maple, poplar & such.

The Lennox blade site offers the ability to customize the blade but I am above my pay grade in this department. Are there any particular specs I should be asking for in how the teeth are set or anything like that?

The first thing you need to do is watch this video. It will make all the difference in how you approach your saw. I use a Super Cut 1/4" blade, .025 thick, hook angle, 6 teeth per inch. Made in the USA.

Wow Bruce! That's one of the best videos I have ever seen on setting up machinery.

Thanks a lot for posting it.
