I am still new to some aspects of woodworking and using a band saw is one of those areas. I wanted to do some re-sawing of juniper boards for a box I am making and needed a wider blade than the 1/4" I have on the saw. (I was told to get a wider blade for re-saw work).
I was looking at band saw blades for re-sawing and was looking at 3/4" wide blades. I saw 3/4" re-saw blades were priced at $140 and change while regular 3/4" blades were about $45 (lenox brand I think). My question is what is the difference between a "re-saw blade" and a regular blade? Both were 3/4" wide and had 3 tpi I am not sure how thick the blades were. Is there that much of a difference?
Thanks for any input you can supply. William\
PS Also if you have a suggestion for a better blade width or brand I am open for suggestions
