Re: alternative Bandsaw blade source
Thanks, but that link doesn't answer my question of the 72" or the 72-1/2" sized blade. 
But, it does let me know which ones are for resawing.

Re: alternative Bandsaw blade source
The 'spec' is 72 ± 1/2 so 72 is the ideal.

Re: alternative Bandsaw blade source
As Dusty says, get the 72" blades. For resawing you want a wide blade. The widest blade SS sells is 1/2" but if you buy Timberwolf blades get a 5/8" blade.Asbrand wrote:Sorry for responding on an older topic, but I just had my bandsaw blade die and need a replacement.
Looking at the Timber Wolf, and reading through this thread, I see I need a 72" +/- 1/2". On the Timber Wolf order page, I can get a 72" -OR- a 72-1/2".
So...which one should I get?
Also...looking to get into doing some re-sawing, so which depth blade should I get for that? 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", etc...?
