I cut some pretty tough woods and want an all purpose resaw blade. I don't want to buy multiple resaw blades. It needs to be able to handle hard maple, ipe, jatoba and oak. My resaw capacity is 12".
Anyone ever use the Lenox Woodmaster CT blade? There's a 1" blade, .035 thick, 1.3 TPI available. For a 142" blade, it's only $128 versus $221 for the Trimaster. The Trimaster offers a 2/3 variable pitch. Also, isn't a 2/3 pitch too fine for resawing 10" or 12" boards? Being about $95 cheaper, the Woodmaster CT might be a good buy. I wonder what the cut quality is like.
