Jacob Nothstine Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 What bandsaw blade brand have you had luck with. I pick up a 4x6 Buffalo bandsaw about a week ago. After a few hours of tuning it cuts straight. I'm using an Olson blade and it's working great for 1/4 steel tubing, Cost is a little high but not to bad. Here is a great video on tuning up a 4x6 band saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 White, bi metal Lennox multi tpi. The bi metal blades are far less susceptible to dirt dulling the teeth. Unfortunately they're not much for adding to a pattern weld like a mono metal blade. How's that for thinking ahead? Giving consideration to what to do with the dull and broken blades when I buy the things. The rule of thumb for saws is 3 teeth on the stock at all times. Finer is NOT better, too fine and the cuttings won't clear the kerf, jam and gall the blade. Too coarse, the teeth will want to just dig in without being able to part the chip and jam. You can more easily get away with too coarse than too fine a blade by reducing the feed rate/weight. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron quake Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Super Cut bimetal blades are fantastic. I've cut 1000's of cross-sectional inches with them in horizontal and vertical saws. Order them direct and they ship the same or the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman50 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I am using Morse, Lennox and Haltbar bi metal blades. These blades work well to me, they just differ in prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
