Title: band saw blades
Post by: yyyyyguy on August 21, 2012, 09:18:39 pm

Where do you guys get your blades? I want to make some band saw/scroll saw boxes and have to use my band saw so they will be a bit larger. I haven't used my band saw in years so will have to get some new blades. I think I want 1/8", 14 tooth and 1/4". Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks Pete

I like the Carter blades either directly from them or my local Woodcraft shop.  I have both 1/8 and 1/4.  The 1/8 blades do tend to break more.  The Carter stabilizer really performs well with the 1/8 blade also.  It reallys reduces the turning radius of the blade.
