My woodslicer is also much smoother than the timberwolf. BUT the TW is
about 2x as fast on my bandsaw. If one is cutting veneer, or real
close to final thickness the woodslicer is the way to go. For my
workbench out of dunage, the TW was much quicker.
Now, I left the Woodslicer under tension, which I also do to the TW,
and it broke a ways from the weld. A local sharpening shop re-welded
it, but I have not yet reinstalled into my bandsaw.

They wider blades also get thicker, and thicker is not good on the
smaller wheels of the Ryobi bs50n. When I researched buying this
bandsaw used, it was noted they tended to break the wider blades. This
being caused by metal fatigue as a result of the tight radius.
I might email laguna to see.
My current problem is the table is not close to flat, or even
perpendicular to the blade path.
Single finish pass in the planer to size it. I could run it through the
Woodmaster with the sanding drum installed but it's set up to mold already
so to the planer it goes.... I have the original Jet 18" bandsaw before they
figured out that the column needed extensive beefing up. Been running
Timberwolf blades since I bought it thinking the low tension was the
solution. With this blade I think I might actually not turn this saw into a
mailbox post..
I,ve used the woodslicer for re-sawing, it works really good for me. Smooth
cuts n the saw isn,t working hard.
I use 1/4" Timber Wolf for my general bandsaw cutting, fast n works
good, better than the 3/8" Sears blade i had been using. I have 14"
Powermatic bandsaw, n keep the tension off when not in use.
Only bad thing now is, my dog "snowball" passed on; he was 14-1/2
yrs....American Eskimo, minature(17#)
he used to carry my scraps around n play in the shop....good dog....will
miss him...

The Timberwolves last a long time but the alternating tooth pattern on the
Woodslicer wins hands down on several points.
1. Super quiet
2. Hardly any chateer or resulting marks
3. Thinner and seems to run cooler.
4. Higher tension seems to be better suited for the saw I have. Jets first
relaease of this 18' was still in the "beta" stages apparently when I bought
it.

Do you run your veneer through the planer on a sled or modified table? I
want to get into veneering and cutting my own. I am currently shopping the
bigger European model band saws.

Thanks. Is that the regular blade or the "resaw" blade?

Steve, where do you read or see that Laguna recommends the RK/ResawKing only
on machines with 18" or greater diameter wheels? I don't doubt you as that
is recommended by many blade makers. The reason I ask is I am considering a
16" Laguna and Laguna often has sales on 14" and 16" band saws packages with
ResawKings packaged with the deal. I want to be fully loaded with questions
when I talk to them about the saw.
Thanks.
I've used both and the WS puts the TW to shame.

They will make them any size you want... you wil have to wait a while
though.

Sorry, I was referring to the woodslicer. Which BTW only comes in 1/2" and
5/8"
I thought the Laguna's resaw king was a 1" blade. Yes, Laguna recomends that
the RK only be used on machines with 18" or greater diameter wheels.

They may have changed their rhetoric, but that's what I recall from about 2
years ago when I was researching bandsaw purchases. Perhaps my memory does
not serve me correctly.

Not so great but then there are two of you crying over the loss.

If darn near close, what will you use before sanding?

I talked to the MiniMax people today and asked them about the wider blades
and smaller diameter wheel band saws. They indicated that the latest blades
today are typically thinner and can be used on the smaller saws.
