I'm about to resaw a bunch of 6"-8" wide Wenge planks (very dense African wood). I have a brand new Woodslicer blade on my Rigid bandsaw. How long should I expect the blade to last, assuming I don't torture it in the resaw operation? Will I be able to cut through about 50 feet of this stuff with one blade? I'm new to bandsaws, resawing, and Wenge, so I have no idea what to expect.
Same question goes for my thickness planer -- after resawing, I will need to plane the planks. Will I need to replace my planer blades halfway through?
Thanks, X_HOBBES
