I just put a 4 tpi 1/2" on my 17" bandsaw for cutting bowl blanks and resawing. It cuts great! I also have a 1/4" 14/18 on my 14" bandsaw for cutting tighter radiuses. I'm on my second blade there. Got about 3 years and a lot of cutting out of the first one, even cutting 4" think hickory in tight turns. I'm sold on them.
