Small bandsaw blade replaced - 9 may 2025

It has been reported to me that the blade broke this evening. I don’t think we have a spare in the shop and I haven’t had a chance to order spares so I guess now is the time. I’ll pick one up to get it going again tomorrow.

I picked up a blade today. I’ll try to get it installed this evening.

For those of us who might be able to help when you’re out of town, who are your favorite vendors for those blades? (I think on a previous occasion you mentioned The Big Tool Store and Amazon for SawStop cartridges and blades.)

I don’t really have a favorite. I’ve used Olsen blades on my saws and don’t have any complaints but I’ve never run enough material through any of them to be able to judge their performance or longevity. I picked up Olsen today because I was at Menards.

New blade installed. There is a 6 tpi blade on the shelf for those needing to cut thicker material. The blade that’s on it is 14 tpi, iirc.
