Timber Wolf Bandsaw Blade 1/2" X 93-1/2", 4 Tpi

I bought this because I has been attempting to rip a piece of seasoned ash and the factory blade on my Ridgid 14" bandsaw was not cutting it (literally). After installing this new blade, the bandsaw went through the ash like butter. I was impressed. Totally worth the price. A few things I found useful. If you are not familiar with replacing a bandsaw blade (I wasn't), it's helpful to watch a few videos and have your manufacturer's guide handy to figure out how to get all the guides and guards out of the way. On my saw there were at least half dozen things above, below, and to the side that needed to be moved/removed before a new blade would go in. A couple were hidden out of sight below the table. It would have taken me alot longer to figure out without the resources. Uncoil the new blade wearing gloves. The blade is like razor wire and the metal hoop acts like a spring, so uncoiling can be a bit exciting -- you don't want several feet of razor sharp metal springing open and flying around your face, or worse. It's hard to control it with bare hands. Mine ended up on the concrete floor. Lesson learned. After installation, take the time to make all the adjustments to make the blade track true on the tires, with the right tension, square to the table, with minimal vibration or drift. Again, Youtube and the manual are your friends. It took me about 30 minutes to get the whole thing done, but it was time very well spent, and using the tool afterward was effortless. It's actually enjoyable to use now.

I have a delta 14” bandsaw, it was always a bit wonky to cut with now matter how much I changed the guides, once I switched to this blade wander went bye bye, the saw behaves completely differently. Prior to this blade my saw was a waste of money, now its worth every penny.

I am not in the habit of writing reviews but I am so impressed with this bandsaw blade that a review is in order. I have an older Delta 14 inch bandsaw and recently purchased a couple of Timberwolf blades after having poor success while resawing walnut for a small project. After mounting the blade (1/2"), tensioning according to Timberwolf's written instructions, resetting blocks and bearings, and lubricating the blade with Pam (again, Timberwolf instructions), I now have a machine that runs better than it ever has. It is also operating so quietly I am tempted not to wear any hearing protection. To test operation I successfully resawed 1/8" slices off of 3" hard maple. The results are perfecting straight and very smooth. I highly recommend Timberwolf blades and suggest following the tensioning and lubrication instructions included with their blades.

Good quality and sharp

Couldn't be happier about this purchase. I've been fighting with cheap blades for ten years. Finally decided to pay the price for a good blade and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Cut stays straight and feels much more controllable.

I had a fairly new blade that would not cut, perhaps I dulled it slicing a frozen turkey. I put this blade on and all my problems with were solved. It tracks straight and it cuts with little resistance a little expensive but it works well

New bandsaw owner (used Jet 14”) and after reading online about the highest quality blades I decided to go ahead and spend the extra money on the Timber Wolf. I had alread upgraded my saw with the Rockler 10 bearing guide kit but the blade that came with the saw still wandered all over the place and took way too much pressure to cut even soft wood. It felt sharp to me but I knew it needed replacing. Well once I installed and tuned the new 1/2” Timber Wolf blade, I marked a straight square line across scrap wood and cut it using the miter gauge. It tracked the line perfectly and went through it like I was cutting air. Spend the extra cash, you won’t be disappointed. I did not give a stat on longevity as I haven’t had it very long but will come back and revise this review once I’ve put some use into it.

Works so well I bought another one for a spare!
