>Buy your baldes directly from Suffolk Machinery (makers of Timberwolf); it is a lot cheaper, even with Woodcraft's 10% discount.

>Unless you are doing precision sawing (making blanks and rough resawing is not) or doing production work, you are wasting your money on Timberwoolf blades @ $40 a pop. The generic woodcraft blades work fine, last a long time and @$11 don't make you cry if you run into a nail or other hard object when sawing up harvested wood.

Good advice from John. Call Suffolk and tell them what you want to do. They will recommend a blade that will fit your requirements. My resawing Timberwolf blades are 124 lg, 1/2" 3 tpi and cost $24. I use an LT16

>I would go for the Timberwolf blade directly from Suffolk Machinery. They are half the price of Timberwold from Woodcraft and are much better than the Woodcraft brand too. They have quick service and are very helpful over the phone. I use 133 in. blades on my 18in. Jet and use the 3/4 in for re-sawing with excellent results.
