This works great with my 14" Jet 1hp bandsaw with an upgraded riser. I have previously tried the Timber Wolf 3/4" blade with 3 tpi (no increase) and I feel my 1hp bandsaw is a little underpowered for the 3/4" blade. It was very difficult to push the workpiece through. The 1/2 inch blade seems to struggle just as hard as I do cutting a 10 inch board today. I have found that 4 tpi helps move the wood, albeit slightly faster than 3 tpi, and has no negative impact on cut wander.
