I would like to purchase some different band saw blade styles. I have
a delta bandsaw that takes a 93.5" blade. Is there any websites that
what blade you would use for different applications. I need one for
resawing wood, a general purpose blade, a hardwood, and different
thickness blades (1/4, 1/2 etc). Thanks

If you are considering a riser block, I would recommend doing that
before you invest in a bunch of 93.5" blades that you won't be able to
use with the riser block.

I would agree with the post by MIke. I do resaw work with 1/2" blade
and general purpose with a 1/4" blade..These are main two work horses.
I use Timber Wolf blades .. they stay sharp an I have never had one
break. I also like the woodslicer 1/2" blade from Highland Hardware.
I use my scroll saw for smaller work, so the 1/4 and 1/2 do almost all
my work.

I agree.
Highland hardware also has a blade designed for cutting green wood.
I think the teeth have a wider set, making a bigger kerf.
I was cutting a birdhouse out of a log, and the kerf closed on the
blade, jamming the wood. It was a PITA to free up the wood.
These blades reduce the chances of that happening.

(If you have to pay the postage for one blade, might as well get others)

You might Google band saw blades. I prefer Olson blades but there are
others that are good too.
Some of the suppliers that you will find from Google will have
recommendations as to use.
I have the 14" Delta also. Delta says the saw will take a 3/4" blade
but I find that a 1/2" or 5/8" works better for re-sawing.

For resawing, this is an excellent one. Much better than Timber Wolf.

Me too.
I buy them from Coastal Tool or Ballew Tool. Both have websites.

I am proud to be one of the "Ask the Experts" from Delta's web site.
I recomend a 1/4" x 6 tooth skip blade for general bandsaw work, a
1/2inch x 3 teeth hook pattern is good for resaw work. I also use a
1/8 inch x 24 tooth raker for scroll type work. I have had great
luck with both Olson and Timber Wolf blades. Good luck and Build with
confidence.
