Hey guys, guess what? My wife bought me a new Craftsman 12" Bandsaw (model 119.224000 if thats important). AND she wasn't all that mad when she found out about it! Not NEAR as mad as when she bought me the boat 3 years ago.....anyway I like making these crosses out of 3"-4" tree branches for my friends but this blade doesn't like to make this cut too much. Is there a "rule" or "law" about blade sizes? Or is there a good "saws-all" size blade I should get? I used to use my little Harbour freight $88 band saw for this but the blade kept on breaking. I figured that meant it was time to upgrade! Right? Oh don't worry about my wife I'll get her something nice for Christmas.....like big screen t.v.

Call Timberwolf and get their recommendation:

If you are cutting green wood, as would be likely in tree branches, you need a different blade than you would use for dry wood.
