1/2 inch from Nirvana

The CL guy from whom I bought my 14-inch Jet bandsaw a couple years back th=
rew in a few new BS blades. It was past time to chuck the 1/4 inch fine to=
oth blade and I tried to mount one of the ones he gave me. I spent 20 minu=
tes trying to get that sumbitch mounted until it occurred to me that this w=
as a 93-inch blade and this BS wants 93 and a half. The folks at the neigh=
borhood Ace had one and it mounted in about 3 minutes flat. What a differe=
nce a sharp blade makes. Cut thru the 4-inch ash like the proverbial hot k=
nife thru butter.

Anybody need any 93-inch blades? Free to a good home.

Larry

Cutting out a bowl blank. Would have gone for 3/8 inch blade, but Ace didn't have one and I didn't feel like chasing across town.
