Olson Saw APG72605 1/2 by 0.025 by 105-Inch All Pro PGT Band 3 TPI Hook Saw Blade

I haven't used it enough to rate the durability, etc.

I use this on my Powermatic bandsaw for resawing hardwoods and crating planks from logs. Works like it should with a slow feed.

Fit my Grizzly G0555LX 14” perfectly. The factory blade was ok, but this is night and day for resawing!

Best band saw blade for re-sawing resinous woods like pine and exotic hardwoods. Super sharp and the weld is nicely done. Runs true with no 'flutter'.

I bought this blade to make four critically accurate straight cuts in dry 6" thick dry spruce, which it did very well. However, I just tried cutting some 5" seasoned but not completely dry cherry and the blade wandered so badly that I had to switch to a different blade. I did not expect much for such an inexpensive blade and if you are cutting 1-1/2"-2" thick wood, it might be fine but not for wet or thicker wood. I turn bowls from mostly green wood and then dry and re finish them and this blade is not good for that.

I have a 14" Delta band saw with the six inch extension. I made the mistake of buying a 3/4" wide blade for re-sawing when I purchased the band saw. All my reading and experience since has convinced me that the saw will not handle a blade that wide. I could not get the 3/4" blade to track properly on both wheels at the same time, probably due to the excessive tension on the saw frame. I purchased 5/8" and 1/2" Olson blades, and the 5/8" blade works great. I haven't tried the 1/2" blade, but expect the same result. I normally wouldn't have included the 5/8" review in the 1/2" product area, but the blades appear identical except for width. In addition, the results were so good compared to the 3/4" blade on my saw, that I wanted to let others know that using a blade less than 3/4" on these 14" saws makes a world of difference.

I usually buy "cheaper" blades, simply because I tend to abuse them and break them before the teeth are dull, as a result of cutting big, decorative pedestal-style table base legs. This blade was about $10 cheaper than my typical go-to, so I gave it a try. So far, it has cut just as good as my previous brand, if not better. I also recently re-sawed 11-inch wide stock of maple with the 1/2" size of this blade and cut, drift, and tracking were all great. I'll be buying (and saving money) these in the future.

El corte es excelente.

I have only used the blade a few times but when at the right tension it cuts straight. I have used it for re-sawing using a guide and cutting a slice off the back of a piece of wood using the fence.

very good blade , resawed 9 in high maple, did beautifully

same result as the 5/8 blade please refer
