Band Saw Blade types?

You might Google band saw blades. I prefer Olson blades but there are others that are good too. Some of the suppliers that you will find from Google will have recommendations as to use. I have the 14" Delta also. Delta says the saw will take a 3/4" blade but I find that a 1/2" or 5/8" works better for re-sawing.

I am proud to be one of the "Ask the Experts" from Delta's web site. I recomend a 1/4" x 6 tooth skip blade for general bandsaw work, a

For resawing, this is an excellent one. Much better than Timber Wolf.

I would agree with the post by MIke. I do resaw work with 1/2" blade and general purpose with a 1/4" blade..These are main two work horses. I use Timber Wolf blades .. they stay sharp an I have never had one break. I also like the woodslicer 1/2" blade from Highland Hardware. I use my scroll saw for smaller work, so the 1/4 and 1/2 do almost all my work.

Me too.

I buy them from Coastal Tool or Ballew Tool. Both have websites.

If you are considering a riser block, I would recommend doing that before you invest in a bunch of 93.5" blades that you won't be able to use with the riser block.

Take a look at timberwolf blades at

Highland hardware also has a blade designed for cutting green wood. I think the teeth have a wider set, making a bigger kerf.

I was cutting a birdhouse out of a log, and the kerf closed on the blade, jamming the wood. It was a PITA to free up the wood. These blades reduce the chances of that happening.
