> 24 hourI rip thin stock for making boxes; and use a jig to run straight. This Wolf blade ran true better than any previous I have use. (I had to buy a second because i hit a broken screw in some used stock... Not the blades fault; but once the blade hit the screw it would not run true anymore.) I expect it to wear well (sans hitting screws ).

> 24 hourThese are the only bandsaw blades I will buy. They last forever and stay sharp when tensioned and tracked correctly. They are a little more to purchase but you save money in the long run.

> 24 hourI bought this because I has been attempting to rip a piece of seasoned ash and the factory blade on my Ridgid 14 bandsaw was not cutting it (literally). After installing this new blade, the bandsaw went through the ash like butter. I was impressed. Totally worth the price. A few things I found useful. If you are not familiar with replacing a bandsaw blade (I wasnt), its helpful to watch a few videos and have your manufacturers guide handy to figure out how to get all the guides and guards out of the way. On my saw there were at least half dozen things above, below, and to the side that needed to be moved/removed before a new blade would go in. A couple were hidden out of sight below the table. It would have taken me alot longer to figure out without the resources. Uncoil the new blade wearing gloves. The blade is like razor wire and the metal hoop acts like a spring, so uncoiling can be a bit exciting -- you dont want several feet of razor sharp metal springing open and flying around your face, or worse. Its hard to control it with bare hands. Mine ended up on the concrete floor. Lesson learned. After installation, take the time to make all the adjustments to make the blade track true on the tires, with the right tension, square to the table, with minimal vibration or drift. Again, Youtube and the manual are your friends. It took me about 30 minutes to get the whole thing done, but it was time very well spent, and using the tool afterward was effortless. Its actually enjoyable to use now.

> 24 hourWow... these blades are amazing. Ive used bosch blades for years, never expecting there ro be much difference between plain steel blades... but these are no pin steel blades. They cut very fast with much lower tension and follow a line much better than the other blades Ive used. If your thinking of trying out these blades to see if there is a difference ... dont wait. Buy them now. If you dont , when you finally get around to it, youll wonder why youve suffered with subpar blades when these are readily available. They make my Harbor Freight 14 inch saw cut like a champ.

> 24 hourAfter receiving a Vermont American 31345 1/2-Inch by 4TPI by 93-1/2-Inch Stationary Fast Wood Cutting Band Saw Blade and installing it on my newly re-tired Delta band saw, I found it would not even begin to cut a block of 2 x 2 white oak, So, I read more reviews and bought this Timber Wolf blade which came with some very exacting instructions. I followed them while installing it, tuned the saw as they suggested, and introduced that same piece of white oak to it. The Timber Wolf cut it like it was butter!! What a relief and what a great blade!

> 24 hourI have recently been using my 14 bandsaw to resaw hardwood for jewelry box building. This has required tuning the saw and building some fences to support the resawing Years ago I bought several widths of Rigid brand blades when they were marked down on clearance. After getting the saw tuned and some good fences built I managed to cut boards in half but the cut quality was so poor extensive planing was required. The reviews of Timberwolf on the Internet are all over the place but the majority are favorable so with Prime same day delivery I bought this Saturday morning and had it in hand by the late afternoon. I was aware this blade is low tension and I followed the instructions when I installed it. I made a test cut on a piece of ash and I am pleased. The quality of the cut is not perfect but it is very good and it may get better as I become more accustomed to pushing the board through without any stops. I will still run it through the planer but it will only take one light pass to clean it up. The blade runs quiet. Right now I think this is a winner, but I will also admit I ordered a 1/2 Wood Slicer blade from Highland just in case this one did not cut smoothly. I like this one well enough that had I waited until I could try it out I would not have ordered the Wood Slicer blade.
