I gotta hand it to Neil (Wolftat) for coming up with a winner!
I participated in his group buy of the Laguna band saw blades and have been patiently awaiting their arrival. Well, today they arrived and I couldn't wait to mount one and give it a try.
To start, I took over my first 2 car garage 35 years ago and turned it into a woodworking shop. That same year, 1975, I bought my first Sears 12" bandsaw along with my first table saw, radial arm saw, jointer and other shop tools. With that said, I know a thing or two about band saw blades.... or at least I thought I did.... until today!
I have never experienced as smooth a cut as I did with this blade. It cut through the burl like it was balsa wood and the smoothness of the cut is unbelievable with hardly a saw mark to be seen or felt! Rather than pushing the block through, I simply held on for the ride as I effortlessly guided the block past the blade. Curious to see how it tracked, I sliced off .050" sliver which is smooth as silk. This is going to be great for thin veneer cutting!
Neil, Thanks for sharing your knowledge on these blades then doing the buy, as an after thought my only regret is not buying a few more blades at the price!
For those who missed the buy, all I can say is you missed out on some fantastic blades and to be ready if he does another one in the future.
