I've spent a lot of time reading on here about BS blades for resawing, boxes, etc. (great info I might add). I currently have 2 band saws: Craftsman 10" & a Grizzly 14". I am going to order me a Timberwolf 3/16 4TPI blade for use on my 10" BS for boxes & tight turns. I also have the Carter Stabilizer on order for this BS as well.
My dilemma is what blade to order for the Grizzly. While I have the riser block on it, I don't see me doing much resawing at all. Also, if I do, I only have a 6" jointer at the moment so I'm kinda limited to 6" resawing anyways. (I do have a 12" drum sander so I could do wider if I had an occasional need, though that's not what the DS is intended for.) Most of my use will be rough cutting with the some precision cutting. And mostly 3/4 to 8/4 range.
I've been looking at the Timberwolf site and I'm not sure which TPI I should use for GP use. So, if you were getting a blade with my uses in mind, which width blade & what TPI would you get? I'm leaning towards the 1/2" 8TPI.
