I used one for years,still have it and use it for lighter work,good blade and instead of making one cut like I do on my bigger one you just need to take 2 or 3 when trimming a big log,I used a 1/2 blade on it 6 hook I think for heavier work.

Good find.

$75 sure seems like a good deal to me. I will second the 1/2", 6 tpi blade.

I haven't had a chance to look. How long of a blade would that be, anyone know?

Mine are 80 inches.

Nathan my bandsaw is a 10" and I use a timberwolf blade with no problems. Give me a call this week if you get a chance

Kris,
I'll try. I know you were fond of those blades. I'm looking into getting a couple. Thanks for the info.

MIne is a two speed also, and did not work as well on the slower speed, I suggest you put the belt on the pully that will give you the fastest speed.

12" craftsman is great for shaping and detail work just not ripping big stock
