Review on πŸͺš High Performance Timber Wolf Bandsaw Blade 3/4" X 131.5", 2-3 TPI - Ideal for Precision Cutting by Chase Arellano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not suitable for sawing

In short, I bought it for sawing large solid wood, but I couldn't get it to move in a straight line. The 1/4" wide Timberwolf does the job much better. Typically, band saws use wider blades for sawing and routing and thinner blades for complex jigsaw work, but all my experience has shown the opposite to be true when sawing. A 3/4" wide blade will continue to tilt once it starts fishing and it's almost impossible to convince it to go straight again, while a 1/4" wide blade cuts out enough bend to allow the blade to come back center under I'm an old time carpenter, spent thousands of hours on a circular saw, but I'm an absolute zero at bandsaws, so I'll admit there can be issues with the setting/adjustment of my bandsaw Time adjusting blade tension, pilot bearing tension, upper pilot bearing height but to no avail.The 1/4" blade follows closely every time no matter how the saw is set up, un d even if I can adjust the saw well enough to get a broad blade to work, I am not very interested in working with a blade that requires ideal working conditions. . Of course, this is not meant to be a criticism of this particular product. I don't have enough experience to critique it fairly, other than to suggest that perhaps a blade with more outwardly curved teeth to cut a wider curve could move straighter. Basically I'm just trying to prevent others from running into the same problems I am and suggest, especially if you are new to band saws, that you should start with at least a 1/4 inch blade, even if you use that for cutting large parts use wood.
