Dark Stone Bi-Metal Band Saw Blade 62" x 1/2" x .025" 6 TPI – M42 HSS Teeth (60+ HRC), Spring Steel Back, Fast & Stable Hardwood Ripping, Smooth Cut – Model DS23278

I was gonna toss the saw out. After a lot of F-&#ed up wood with blades that twisted and ruddered in the wood that were too thin. I was done. But I noticed that the rollers on the guides weren't adjustable. The blades I had were too thin in the rollers. .014 etc. Then I found this. .025 with 1/2 inch width, the teeth cleared the rollers and it fit tightly on both top and bottom. Wide enough kerf. By hand, the blade don't twist in the rollers, they hold and engage the blade properly. Cleaned and oiled the bearings. Just like a brand new bandsaw with the proper blade like from the factory. I'm glad I ordered two, just in case one pops. I can now use my fence and shove thick wood through it with confidence. 3/4 inch birch plywood, 5/8 inch MDF, no problem. Nice & strait. Don't even have to sand much. Will still use it to build me a table saw anyway. I do know not to run the saw at higher speeds now. Should be advertised as for this type of band saw. As a factory replacement. Them other thin ones are no good. Much cheaper than having one custom made for $43 bucks. Thanks for giving this woodworker strait cuts again. Happy customer.
