Woodmaster CT and Diemaster 2

[Mike Heidrick]

I got my bandsaw blades today for the MM20. I called Sam Blasco at MM and had him sell me a couple blades that he recommended. He convinced me to try the 1" Woodmaster CT carbide blade for the MM20 because he has been having a lot of success with it. I then told him I wanted a good 1/2" blade as well but did not need it to be carbide and he sold me another favorite of his the Diemaster 2. Sam is a great guy to deal with and MM has treated me like I have been a life long customer. Great group to deal with.

Took a picture of the blades and one that I reversed the levels on so you can see the teeth on the Woodmaster. Woodmaster is 1" wide and 1.3tpi and the Diemaster2 is 1/2" wide and 6tpi. Both blades are 171 inches.

I'm very curious about the quality of cut on the Woodmaster CT with that 1.3 tpi design. Let us know what you find.

Mike,
I guess its a trick of perspective in the photograph, but your Diemaster 2 looks like a varipitch. I run a 1/2" 6/10 diemaster2 as my general purpose blade. Good cut up to about 2" thick, and you can't wear it out!

That is the same blade. Tag says 171" X 1/2" X 6/10 DZ. 5107351 is the serial number on it.
