So I have a used 14" Delta Bandsaw with 3/4 HP motor. Handyman Bandsaw with 1/2 HP motor will laugh and cut like Butter.I installed a new blade that was half the price with a brand name that started with O hoping that would fix the problem but the problem persisted.Considering that this blade from another brand is brand new I even took the engine apart to check for problems and also checked the bearings, belt and pulleys but not the dice.I installed this new blade and it makes a huge difference;I could 4x4 with no problems drive. I also found that the smoothness of the wood after sawing was greatly improved. So far I'm very happy with this blade. I'll update if I have any pr in the near future problem or the blade fails.
