At the moment I have a Lenox Diemaster 2 mounted, I’ve been doing some resawing.

That Olson set in 93-1/2” (for my 14” Delta) is coming up at $46.90 and with Prime, no shipping :)

I Buy from a company called BC Saw and tool. They are in Canada – and not British Columbia, as the BC might imply, they are actually in Toronto.

Our guild did a mass buy and the cost was around 7 dollars per blade. They also do sharpening. If you are just buying a couple for yourself, they still were running ~

I use 1/2 inch 3 TPI for 97% of all the cuts. then I have a 3/16 blade for scrolling if needed.

I have 3 Craftsman blades and a Woodslicer. The Craftsman blades have worked just fine for what I do, and the Woodslicer rules in ways that should be illegal.
