Well, i think i'm going to take Rich up on his offer and try to get my Band Saw running right instead of selling it. I have a few projects coming up where it would come in handy,but before I call for the set up advice i wanted to get some new blades for it to make sure that i can rule poor blades out as the problem. Rich had said Lenox was the ticket for him so I was going to give those a try, but their website lists lots and lots of different blade types. Any advice on what type of blade to get from them? I have a job coming up where I will need to cut lots of 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" sched 40 stainless steel pipe, other than that it will probably be large mild steel tubing, heavy mild steel bar stock, or stainless bar and pipe. The blade size is 64-1/2"x 1/2".
