Hello,
Does anyone have any feedback on R&D Bandsaws (https://www.tufftooth.com/) a Canadian supplier?
I am looking at ordering a sanding mop and a blade from them.
On there website that show several different types of blades that I really have no idea what might be the best/better choice.
- Industrial Silicon, Swedish Silicon, 2-Wheel Flexible Back, Metal Cutting Carbon Flexible Back, 3-Wheel or 2-Wheel - Bench Top Flexible, Furniture Band (Carver & Woodturner Band), Meat Band, Bi-Metal (Wood Cutting), i-Metal (Metal Cutting), Little Ripper Blade, Carbon Millbands, Coilstock, Ripper37, Woodslicer Swift
The back story
I have a Delta 14" bandsaw that according to the manual I need a 91.5min - 94max inch blade..... with their replacements noted at 93 1/2"
When I bought that saw many years ago I got 3 blades of varying tooth and depths.... or is it widths
On a recent project.... cutting out a tree.... my highest tooth blade (maybe 6...not sure) left a lot of saw and burn marks that I have been laboriously removing with a file, dremel and sandpaper.
I think that a higher tooth count and skinnier blade would have helped al lot with this issue
Any guidance is appreciated
