In Response To: Re: Tools: new bandsaw (Brian Nystrom)

: I agree. I ordered some blades from Grizzly a while back and they're not
: impressive. The three brands mentioned above are all outstanding.

: BTW, if the need ever arises to cut fiberglass, don't do it with a standard
: band saw blade, as it will dull it immediately. Get a metal cutting blade
: or carbide tipped blade (though I would hesitate to risk the latter, as
: they're expensive).

Fiberglass I cut with the Bosch saber saw with metal cutting blades. The grit from glass wouldn't be nice for a wood cutting band saw.
