Well...in a word.. no I have not put another blade on it. With all the traveling :rolleyes: I have been doing (leaving again next Monday) I haven't gotten around to ordering and putting on another blade. Going to do it very soon...then get back to what I was trying to make...

I was just wondering how you made out with It. I keep flipping back and forth from one thing to another with what little extra time I have had, so I know how it is.;) I still need to try that stabilizer out sometime soon. Finally got to shoot a few games the other night. It Had Been atleast 2 months or more.

For the $ I don't think you can beat a Grizzley saw. I've had the 16" for 6+ years with minimal up keep. I added the ball bearing guides as the only upgrade. I tried about every brand of blade on the market and would not spend any more $ on anything but the Timber Wolf blades...Swedish silicon steel ones. Low tension and more important..long lasting.
Go to Timber Wolf's web page and order direct from them......they generally always have some type of deal going on. I just checked and they have 20% off of 5 blades.....which is about the same as buy 4 and get 5. I use the 3/4" 3tpi for resawing and 1/2" 6tpi for all my other general stuff.

Happy sawing.........

Thanks for the info Dave,:)
 
i might not have explained myself very well before so i thought maybe pics would help. i don't like to take my saw out of square so i built this simple jig. cost about a buck in materials took about half an hour to make and can be used to continuously cut point squares in half very quickly and accurately. you may use any thing as a push stick, but most of the time i use the next square i'm going to cut.

Mine's similar to yours Curlycues. The difference is that I have my v-groove skewed at an angle and the whole jig slides against the bandsaw fence. This allows me to use 5/8 square point blanks instead of 3/4. It actually is a point square cutting CARRIAGE.

Here's a modified version of your pic just to give you an idea of how my jig looks.
