[TheForge] Re: Bandsaw Blades

[Roger Olsen]

Speaking of band saw blades________I saw a lot of   3/16, 1/4, 3/8, and
1/2 inch bar stock in varying widths,  I occaissionly saw thru something
as large as 2&1/2" square.  I spose this is pretty typical for a lot of
smiths.  Any consistent opinions out there on tooth count and or pitch?
I am sold on bi-metal but every time I order blades I get out the guide
and scratch my head.  I can't remember for sure without looking but I
think I usually end up with 10 to 12 teeth per inch with a standard
pitch.  Any thoughts with experiences courser or finer?
