What blade do you use? I currently have a MM-16 and I am using the blade that came with the saw want to get a better blade what are y'all using?

Thanks

Carbide tipped Lennox Tri-Master here.

Brian gave you a good recomendation. Also consider the Lenox bi-metal blades, and the Woodslicer from Highland woodworking.

Ditto what Brian said.

I use the Tri-Master carbide for resaw work and most often have a 1/2" Timberwolf on the saw for utility use...an AS if I'm working wet wood and a PC for dry wood, although they sometimes switch hit so I don't have to change them.

[Pete Brown]

Are you resawing or cutting curves? For resawing I use my lennox and my woodslicer. Both are good in different ways.

For curves, I use the blades that came with it. They haven't dulled much yet, as most of my bandsaw work has been resawing. Of course, I'm one blade short, as the first thing I did when I got the saw was over-tension a 1/4" blade - snap! ping! no more blade.

I've got a Trimaster for resawing and a couple bimetal Lennox blades for general use and wet wood.

I just got a 1 1/4" resaw king (on sale for $60 off list) and was very pleased with some 1/16 cherry veneer that I cut. saw marks are barely visible.

Same as Jim here - Tri-Master for resaw & 1/2" Timberwolf for "general use".
