Hi All,

What size of carbide tipped Lennox blade are you running on the Jet 18 inch band saw? Right after my saw came out the 1/2 inch one was recommended because it was not known if the saw was built well enough to properly tension a wider blade.

If you have this saw what size are you running?

Thanks

I would saw a 1/2" Trimaster or Bimetal

I've got an 18" Jet. I've been using the 1/2" trimaster for a year now. I couldn't be happier with it. I would have been thru over a dozen of the Timberwolf blades by now and there is still some life in the Lennox.

Thanks Guys,

I'll call and order the 1/2 inch. There is a shop near me that makes them.
