Hello Experts.
Just got my "reclaimed" Delta Homecraft 10" bandsaw back to life and it's time for a new blade. The old blade that is on there is dull and too big, the previous "owner" punched a couple holes in the top cover so they could adjust the tension and have the cover on. Guess it was too much to get the correct blade.
The blade that is on there is 72 1/2" and I believe that it should have been a 71 3/4"
Rite now this is my only band saw and I don't expect to be doing any resawing on it. I have a 27" monster in the wings that will be assigned that duty. I am looking for a blade that can do modest curves yet cut pretty straight if needed. I know this is not a power house of a bandsaw, but I hope that it will service me well untill I can get the monster and my Walker Turner 14" going. Those will be my keepers.
Don't expect to be cutting anything over 1" thick. Will be cutting some walnut, plywood, fir and pine.
Any suggestions / sources for a 71 3/4" blade?
Thanks
John
