Olson Saw FB19293DB Bandsaw Blade 3/8-Inch x 93-1/2-Inch, 4 TPI
Olson Saw
The tradeoff: high-carbon steel is not as long-lived as bi-metal in abrasive hardwoods.
- 3/8-inch width, 4 TPI general-purpose geometry
- Thin-kerf, flex-back high-carbon steel
- Skip-tooth style with raker set pattern
- 93-1/2-inch length for common 14-inch bandsaws
Pros
- 4 TPI balances resaw speed and curve-cutting ability in a single blade
- 3/8-inch width tracks straight cuts while still handling tighter curves
- Flex-back design reduces wear on wheels, tires, and bearings
- Olson is a reference brand woodworkers reach for first when upgrading from stock blades
Cons
- High-carbon steel is not as long-lived as bi-metal in abrasive hardwoods
- Fixed length -- confirm your bandsaw's blade length before ordering
