Hi!
I'm a little new to bandsawing, so any help would be appreciated. I
bought a Delta 9" bandsaw BS100 that works very well. However I need
additional blades. I want bi-metal blades since they would seem to be
more durable. However, 59-1/2" is not a common pre-made size. Sixty
inches, though, does appear to be a common pre-made size. Will the 60"
blades work OK on a saw designed for 59-1/2"? Sorry if this is a dumb
question.
Thanks,
Mark

Go for it. The question isn't dumb. Your adjusters will take up much more than
1/2", though.

Will you be able to tension the bimetal sufficiently on this
saw ?
