Hello everyone. Before I ask my question I would like to thank everyone for the knowledge I have gained from reading your posts and responses.
My question is this. I am shopping for a larger band saw and noticed blade speed in the specs. Most 14 and 17 inch saws list a blade speed of 3500 or so feet per minute. Some list a speed around 4600 fpm. My uses will be to re-saw and rough out wet wood bowl blanks as well as flat work curves. Does it matter and do I care I am current torn between the Grizzly G0514X2B and G0566B.
Thanks.
