Title: Cutting turning blanks with a bandsaw
Post by: Meleagris gallopavo on May 29, 2025, 01:38:35 PM
I have a 13.625" bandsaw that uses 93.5" blades. I don't make calls, but I do rip and resaw wood to make turning blanks.  Most of the wood I cut is hard and dense (1.0 - 1.3 SG).  What's a good blade type to use to cut blanks from dry logs of these hard, dense woods?

Not cheap, but these are the best I have found for hard, dry, clean wood.  They are crazy sharp and don't tolerate junk, green wood, cutting aluminum, etc.

That does look like what I need!  Thanks!
