I don't cut enough of it day after day to notice what it would do to a blade, but don't notice any immediate dulling of blades with it. But it will definitely dull a cheaper blade fast!<br />Tom Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360784794443302489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945028781497511899.post-53178326744062031232013-11-18T07:36:31.577-08:002013-11-18T07:36:31.577-08:00Tom, thanks for the info!!

It's always worked fine, though would be nice to get a real industrial grade bandsaw some day. I put a 1/2" blade on it, which is what I use for all my cutting. I buy the very best quality blades available because they last MUCH longer than cheaper blades.Tom Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360784794443302489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945028781497511899.post-26821330271618051812013-11-17T18:17:09.164-08:002013-11-17T18:17:09.164-08:00Thomas, awesome video.
