What bandsaw blade?

(1/2) > >>

bentstick54:
I have an older Rockwell 14” bandsaw from the 1970’s. It takes a 93 1/2” blade. I’m looking for recommendations on the best blade size (1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2) and TPI count, and tooth set for roughing out Osage staves. And best places to find respectable quality and reasonable priced blades.

DC:
I use 1/2" 3TPI

bentstick54:
Thx DC, I’ll probably try a 3TPI or 4TPI

High-Desert:
I use a 1/2” blade with a 2” 3-4 TPI, and a hook tooth. A hook tooth isn’t necessary, but it’s nice because it’s more aggressive.

Thx
