I have used and bought many different band saws, sizes, sizes, widths etc. I have a 14 inch band saw and need a quality blade. that can handle most tasks without worrying about frequent blade changes. Timber Wolf 93 1/2" x 1/2" wide x 10 tpi is what I was looking for. It does an excellent job at 90% of normal wood cutting tasks and also does an excellent job at re-cutting, leaving a lot less mark on the blade when you get the feed rate up to the optimum level. I also followed Timber Wolf's recommendations and pre-treated the blade with a light coat of vegetable oil spray. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but it lasts a lot longer (I've used many Timber Wolf blades in the past) and doesn't require maximum tension, which I humble opinion is the cause of most blade breakage. . I'm not an expert, just an avid amateur who loves woodworking and calls it what I see it. I hope this review helps someone.
