Next time you might look at this --

http://timberwolfblades.com/Blade-Selector.php

Just scroll down to the blade function, click on the width and TPI a and the blade type (if an option) and it takes you to a menu where you select the length and voila you have a price and an order system.

They make it so easy to order, so that's why I go back. There may be better cheaper out there but I enjoy how easy it is to order. Only have purchased for a non-SS, so no SS experience on how they perform on one (yet), but never had a bad blade, but I clean their blades after each use. THIN weld so it only takes a minute to grind down the sides and they are ready to use..

Prices SEEM a wee bit better than Olson from various sources, but then there are many sources for Olson so you can probably get them locally or shipped much quicker.

With that said, my next resaw blade is this one

http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/wood ... lades.aspx

At $30 it's more than I have ever spent, but it comes HIGHLY recommended by someone has always given me the best advise.

Hope that helps

I did a quick comparison of the Shopsmith 5/8 blade .vs. the Woodslicer blade awhile back in this thread.

I tried http://www.sawblade.com and it is well worth it. Blades are 30% lower compared to other brands. Great customer service, too. Ask for June.

I must agree that all of Shopsmith blades I have purchased are of superior quality. I am cheap but have no patience for poor quality thus always buy their higher quality blades, which translates to fewer breaking and a happier experience. Jim
