I like the Timberwolf blades. Good value for the price. There are other good blade manufacturers but I have stuck with Timberwolf.
When I first started to use my bandsaw I thought more teeth per inch would be better.
These days I like fewer tpi. I am not expecting a bandsaw cut to be a "finish" cut.
Fewer tpi cut easier and faster.
I presently have a 3/8in x 6 tpi blade on my 17in Grizzly bandsaw. It is cutting fine.
I did like the way the 1/2in x 4 tpi blade cut - before I bent the blade. :huh:
For my future orders I am going with 3 or 4 tpi. Not sure of 3/8in vs 1/2in. For cutting log blanks, I may be better with 1/2in.
