[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 163366, member: 166"] Glad to hear about the radius. I'd not used any 1/2" on wood for anything but resawing, since a lot of what I did related to curves was scroll type work and I used the 1/8". (Decorating outdoor landscaping benches with fluff for the wife to sell. She's a landscaper.) Yes, those Lenox blades are excellent. I chose the Timberwolf (bi-metal and wood blades) because they're less expensive than the Lenox and Timberwolf has great technical support if you need to modify your bandsaw for an application. You can also run them with less tension than other blades. They also give ya a 15% discount if you buy three, a good deal. Their shipping is USPS out of New York, so not a lot of money to have them delivered to your door in a reasonable amount of time. I like bandsaws too. I'd prefer to have the older American iron like you have, but at the time I bought the HF one, I wasn't able to find one. This bandsaw is basically a copy of an older American type and has done really well with excellent power for a 14" bandsaw. I agree bandsaws are extremely handy. I was very glad to get this one back from my buddy, who was basically letting it collect dust in his garage for the past three years. In fact, the little crosscut sled was still in the box where I packed all the accessories from the saw. Sadly, the box was banged up and he'd managed to lose the manual, but I was able to download it from their website. But once I got to putting it back together, my memory broke off the rust and in a few minutes, I was able to get it running with metal like I used to have it running for wood: smooth, quiet and efficiently. I like to have my power tools tuned as much as possible. Makes them better to work with. [/QUOTE]
