List Your Top 5 BS Resaw Blades

[John Hulett]

... and sources.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough to make this a poll.:o

[Cecil Arnold]

I've got a MM16 that takes 149" blades and use only two blades. They are a Lennox trimaster 1" and the Ittura substitute for the 1/2" highland hardware re saw blade (the name of which escapes me at the moment) I have also used a 1/4" Lennox bi-metal 3 tpi skip. Can't think of anything else you would need with a MM16.

I use a Lenox TriMaster carbide tipped blade for resawing...bought mine through MiniMax 'cause it came with my saw. Iturra Designs is a great source for these blades, however. For general purpose, I leave a 1/2" Timberwolf AS blade on the machine as it's fine for general cutting and designed for "wet wood" as in turning stock. I will likely put a 1/2" TriMaster on in the future when my stock of Timberwolf AS blades is depleted for dry cutting and only use the AS for wet wood. Of course, for other sizes, I prefer the Timberwolf blades for scrolling, etc.

I use Lenox Trimaster 1" for resaw, 1/2" Trimaster for general purpose, and have 3/4, 1/2, 3/8, 1/4 Olsons for "other stuff" on my MM16. Admittedly, I use the 1" and 1/2" Trimasters most on this saw.

I also have 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" Timberwolf blades for the 14" saw for various scrolling/misc tasks. I kept the smaller saw 'cause it sure is nice not to have to swap blades for a minor operation in the middle of a project.

the 1/2" highland hardware re saw blade (the name of which escapes me at the moment)

Woodslicer. Very nice resaw blade for those (like myself) using a 14" BS. Can't help with any of the larger size blades, since I suffer from BS envy. :(

[Phil Maddox]

I only use one blade for resawing, why would you need more?

Lennox Tri-master 1" 3-4tpi carbide.

Not as smooth as some I've seen but acceptable.

Good luck!

My only experience at present.

I have the Highland Hardware Wood Slicer 3/4" (new size last year) and very pleased on an 18" Rikon.

[Byron Trantham]

I use Iturra Designs Lenox 1/2" blade. I love it. When I replace it, I will probably go with a carbide tipped blade. My saw is a Jet 14".

3 tooth skip bimetal blades. 1/2" I think they end up being under $20. They resaw just fine for me.
