One of these days I'm going to have to convice you to run a Carbide. Seem like all blades cut like butter, and are a joy right out of the box. All blades I've tried, including Infinity seems to get out of the butter phase pretty quickly when re-sawing. The Carbides cost a lot more, but give you a much longer windows of butter cutting. For impatient me, it seems like when I have to exert any significant amount of force, the blades start doing their own thing, and the consistency and smoothness suffers. And some pieces of wood have demons in them and try to drag the blade all over, which is very frustrating, but much less so with a larger Kerf blade. Here is a cross link to the old SSWC thread on this: https://forum.scrollsawer.com/forum/scroll-saw/tools-and-blades/834886-lenox-trimaster-high-end-carbide-bandsaw-blade For those of you that didn't see it back when that thread was active, check it out to see my awesome (or maybe adequate) phone photography skills . . . . . You can also see some comparison cuts. Edited May 21, 2020 by hotshot OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Randy thanks for the reminder! I will certainly order one. What is your current source? Also what tooth count and blade width are you running? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmaster1 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I have a 1/2" carbide tip blade for resawing and it is fantastic. I purchased it from Highland Woodworking. I see getting at least 3or4 years use out of it. I am on year 3 and still going strong. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last order was from Industrial Blade (1-800-729-2523) ------Randy OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
