Bandsaw Book

Duginske's "Bandsaw Handbook".

Goes a bit deeper than Lonnie Bird's IMHO.

Plan to buy a good range of blades (the book advises). Any bandsaw is only a machine for moving the blade around, so it pays to have the right sort on hand.

The Bandsaw Book, by Mark Duginske

In the meantime buy an Olsen Pro or Iturra's Promaster blades. Call for a free 218 pages 2005 Catalog from Iturra. The catalog itself contain alot of useful information about bandsaw.

Iturra email snipped-for-privacy@comcast.net or toll free 888-722-7078

Here's a differing, also humble opinion:

I think Lonnie Bird's book has all the same information, but is much easier to read.

Also, there was a Fine Woodworking article recently in which Mike Dunbar said to just use a 3 tpi blade for everything. I've been using a 4 tpi, bi-metal blade for everything and I think he's right.
