Premium band saw blades & ceramic disks

[ExtraMile]

I just decided to get these, instead of buying elsewhere.

521987 1/2" Bandsaw blade
556142 4-80 grit ceramic

Elsewhere: Home Depot, Lowes & or Amazon.

Why: None of those three had the actual length of the band saw blade and Amazon has 12 inch disks, but only red oxide and not ceramic. SS price for the ceramic disks are near, what Amazon's red oxide disks sell for. So, this decision was a no brainer.

My band saw will 'now, only' be dedicated to being used for resawing. I use a lot of rough cut lumber and the band saw, should be well suited for resawing, with the above blade!

Just saw your post. I have found the Highland Wood Slicer blade to be the best you can buy.

Its best for re-sawing but I use it for everything.

Some folks here swear by the Timberwolf resaw blade.

I have the woodslicer and also am too lazy to take it off for occasional other tasks. Quite satisfied with it!

I have both here and neither one is better or worse than the other. They both cut the same. The only difference is the Timberwolf is cheaper than the Wood Slicer if you buy direct from Timberwolf. At least it was the last time I checked.
