    Great product support besides the blade itself I had great support from your staff. .
    I initially talked to one of your support team since I had a 14 inch delta copy produced by a different manufacturer and had no docs. i asked for info on what length blade i needed
    i was told i needed a blade that was 1 inch longer than what I thought i needed. We got down to discussing the color of the bandsaw ? I fortunately took your supports advice and the fit was tight with tension off but I was able to adjust the tension. A shorter blade would never have fit.
    I got the blade and decided to go over the sawbefore installing it. i took the saw completely apart and tuned it up. I Installed the blade per info from Mr. Snodgrass video on YouTube.
    I could not believe the performance of the wood slicer 1/2 blade. the saw was dramatically quieter and it cut smoothly and quickly. I was so anxious that I did the initial resawing by eye with no fence.. The smoothness was amazing. With a fence it was unbelievable. The previous attempts at resawing with a blade with the same tooth pattern was completely frustrating. Until someone uses your wood slicer blades they have no idea what the capabilty of their saw is. I can not imagine the difference a high grade saw would make.
    I will purchase more blades from you for more general purpose sawing as i am confident I will see major improvements over my current blades..
    Great product and great support.

    been using 1 1/4" laguna carbide. if and when it wears out, I'll give the wood slicer a chance- big difference in price.

    Bought the 3/4" (first time) but felt the back edge had been ground down too aggressively at the weld, so requested a replacement. The replacement was better but still had a noticeable 'jump' every time the weld passed the guides. That said, it cuts very well, although I'm still fine tuning my setup to improve blade tracking. I use the blade on a 14" King Industrial with 6" riser and on occasion, have used its full capacity to re-saw 2" x 12" Douglas Fir.

    I have both the 1/2" and 3/4" wood slicer for my Grizzly 14" band saw. For some reason I get better results with the 1/2" blade. Could be my setup. Haven't figured it out yet but the results from the 1/2" are great. As stated in another comment it take a pass or two through the planner to get rid of the saw marks but with 3/4 TPI that's to be expected.

    This blade stays sharp longer and has the best price in the USA!

    The Wood Slicer worked well for resawing some 6” white oak but there were still enough saw marks that I needed to run the slices through my drum sander a few times until the surface was glue-ready.
