    Hitachi 3" Bandsaw Blades - Stellite $125

    I've got two 3" Stellite tipped (every other tip is Stellite) bandsaw blades made specifically for the Hitachi CB-75 resaw. I know one has been sharpened, and I think the other may be new (old stock). They are both real sharp. A little surface rust on a couple of spots that will go away after...

I don't plan on doing a lot of resawing...

    New motor for bandsaw

    Resawing Logs have tough spot to cut thru - Why?

    I have been using my bandsaw (Grizzly 17" 2HP, timberwolf 1203AS 1/2" blade) to rip some walnut logs, less than 12" diameter, into spindle blanks. In the middle third of some rip cuts I will hit a "tough" spot where it is almost impossible to push the log any further. When I can get it to move...
