Which Bandsaw Blade Do I need

[Paul Wunder]

What bandsaw blade is recommended for a project on my Grizzly 14" (GO 555):

I will be cutting 16 2 1/2" diameter circles using 3/4" baltic birch to build a caterpillar pull toy for a toddler.

Would appreciate some recommendations please.

I am an occasional user. Thanks.

Do you have a drill press? If so, I'd recommend a hole saw rather than band saw.

Hole saw is good idea. Buy a good one.

I agree with Doug use a hole saw. I'm not comfortable having my finger within an inch and a quarter of the blade. A scroll saw would also work.

Thanks, Guys. This is one of those "Why didn't I think of that moments."

Hole saw it is!

Thanks, Guys. This is one of those "Why didn't I think of that moments."

That's OK, I read it as " I'm going to cut a 16 1/2" circle" and thought "Who has a 16" hole saw?

Reading is hard :-) Regards, Rod
