Review on πŸ”ͺ Olson APG77105-0.025-105 Inch Blade by Mike Walters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent blade for a limited run of 14 " band saw blades.

I have a Grizzly G0555LX with a 6" saw attachment. It is used almost exclusively for trimming walnut, maple and oak to size used from 5" to 7". Due to the strength of the 6" riser block, I can't use a 3/4" blade on it because the top block doesn't bend. I almost always have Timber Wolf 1/2" 3TPI blades with success, but this blade strikes the sweet spot between the more expensive TW and useless 3/4" blades. It may or may not stay sharp for that long (I wasn't actually expecting BF), but it cuts better and the price is significantly lower than TW blades.Until I upgrade my bandsaw to a unit large enough to use 3/4" or 1" carbide blades, this is my path for now.This one lasted about a month and a half te. I just ordered another one because it cuts poorly on a 6" walnut.
