I'll second Suffolk for the Timberwolf blades [^]

Do call Suffolk. On my last order I included a 3/4"X3tpi blade for resawing. Also a 1/8" and two different 3/8"X6tpi blades. The 3/4" resaw blade hasn't been off my machine yet. I use it for all my blanks and other resawing and straight cuts. Of course, any curved work will require a different blade. But this hoss really makes short work of turning big hunks into small workable blanks. BTW, my bandsaw is a Griz G0555 also, without the riser.

Highland Hardware has a Wood Slicer 1/2" blade made for re-sawing. It is great, and reasonably priced. I use it on my Jet 12".

Bill,

Next time, give Timberwolf blade a try. Suffolk sells them almost half the price Woodfcraft sells it for.

Suffolk also have a one time "buy 3 get 4" deal. This special is almost continuously offered (but cannot guarantee that).

I tried thr Wood Slicer blade and really liked it. But the Timberwolf blades are IMHO equal in cutting ability and cost less.
