Another BS (bandsaw ;-)) question.......
I bought the Bridgewood 17" bandsaw and am awaiting it's delivery. At the
same time, I'm starting to look at blades for the saw since I don't expect
much from the stock blade...... Wilkes website states that the blade
length is 132". However, the saw is made by OAV and their website says the
blade length is 131-3/4".
Does 1/4" (either longer or shorter) make any difference?

Easily since 1/4" of blade equals 1/8" of vertical wheel travel.

None, there there's likely to be about 3" of vertical adjustment which gives
about +-3" latitude.

You should have that much adjustment.
