Hiya folks, I need to look at some blades for a Grizzly G0555 14" bandsaw w/6" riser kit I just ordered yesterday (WOOOO HOOOO!!!). First off, many thanks to all who've written here about this bandsaw - I probably wouldn't have purchased it without all the positive (and negative) feedback I've read here.
Secondly, I'm green when it comes to bandsaws. I just picked up the Duginske Bandsaw Bench Reference and have been reading it like a man possessed! I'm up to the point where he discusses blades. I never knew there were so many and I'm a bit confused on what I should get to start and play around with. I understand the blade that ships with the thing isn't very high quality, maybe that is my best starting point but what do I get by going to a more expensive blade (timberwolf seems to be the group fav as best I can tell)?
I plan on using the bandsaw to cut wide radius curves and resaw. I will be using a variety of woods, both hard and soft.
thanks in advance for any help!! Eric
