[Woodcarver] Bandsaw blades

[Oregonkarver at aol.com]

I also use a 1/4" ship tooth usually 6" for all my roughing out.  I  can even 
use these on my old Sears 3 wheel that doesn't cut worth a  **&&&^ with 
anything else.  I have them welded at a local saw  shop and it cost about 1/2 that 
they do from a woodworking store.  Call  around to local saw shops and see if 
they carry bandsaw blade stock, it is well  worth your time.

Hi Jeff,
 
I have an old 12-inch Sears Craftsman band saw. For all my  cutting, from 
thick oak, walnut and basswood to thin stock I always use  1/4 inch wide skip 
tooth blades (4 teeth per inch I think) or 6  tooth if I can't get skip tooth.

    I need to replace my bandsaw  blade and would like to know what would be 
best for cutting up Basswood and  making roughouts.
