Olson Saw FB23105DB 1/2 by 0.025 by 105-Inch HEFB Band 3 TPI Hook Saw Blade

Slapped this into my 14" bandsaw and it is like magic. Inexpensive, cuts everything like butter, ran true right off the bat and makes a nice clean cut. You don't realize how dull your saw blade is until you have a new sharp one like this.

Very sharp and tough. I cut all kinds of wood with knots. Never a problem. No burning. Smooth cuts. Very happy with this brand!

I bought this to resaw boards on my regular old 14” bandsaw equipped with a riser block. I put it on and adjusted position, tension, guide blocks and bearings. Then I resawed some mahogany for guitar sides. I’ve never been able to get four slices out of a 4/4 board before but it was relatively easy with this blade. Slow feed rate but it does cut in a straight line as long as the blade is set up right. This is the second one I bought. I used the first one before I learned proper blade set up and ruined the blade quickly. (Not the blade’s fault). This time I watched one video by the bandsaw guy and learned that proper set up includes making sure the blade gullet rides the centre of the top wheel. It cuts true.

I added a riser to my 50's era Delta so I could resaw thin sections for building instruments. I had purchased this one and a set of Timberwolf blades for the same purpose. I just happened to grab this one first, and I must say I am impressed. It does not seem to have an issue with the tension used, and leaves a very nice clean surface. Once tensioned properly, drift is not an issue. I was able to cut 1/8 in panels from 8" wide cherry and walnut with out difficulty.

the blade was awesome, i have fast and slow moments but it alternates so i think its user error. i may have dulled it by pushing to hard on dry wood. but, when i cut 2x6 into smaller pieces i'm quite happy with the way the boards turn out, i thot it would have more sway and marks, it has marks, but assuming someone whose more patient or understands the saws better i think this is well worth the money. it fit, it worked and if i was to buy another normal steel blade id buy this again for sure.
