i have been in the business for 30 years and i have never had any luck with my bandsaw not because i have not tried but resawing has never worked i would never gotten a straight cut so i always planned the board to be level and wasted wood. I'm making some really cool chopping boards for Christmas gifts this year and it takes a lot of cutting with a band saw. I bought the Timber Wolf blades with little hope of a different result, but to my satisfaction, what a difference. The packaging is a little odd as it doesn't have the branded box but there are instructions on how to reduce the tension on the blade to get it right and make clean, straight cuts. So it wasn't about my skill or the (20 year old Sears) band saw, it was about the blades I used and how I drew them. Great product but even better instructions.
