Why no 3-wheel bandsaws?

[Leon]

Ultimately the 3 wheelers end up having smaller wheels, in most of the cases, and as you pointed out the tighter bend is the problem.

[jischoon]

They usually have smaller wheels and therefore are prone to metal fatigue and the blades break more often.

A good blade is required for "log" sawing / re-sawing - .. if you can find such a blade for your 3-wheel bandsaw ?

These Viking blades have a good reputation :

And there are blades especially made for re-sawing :
