normanh Posted September 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2013 A friend was having a factory clearout and some time back and I was given a Sealey SM12 bandsaw, all thats needed is a bit of tender TLC a blade and I need to knock up a fence no real big deal and a couple fixings and knobs replacing. What tpi blades do you guys use, as I was thinking of getting a couple of 6tpi skip blades 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch width? Its had a good clean up and looks much more respectable , motor runs so just needs the blade - 62 inch long.

dgbot Posted September 1, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 1, 2013 6 tpi is good for all around general cutting. If you plan to do any resawing I would go for 4 tpi 1/2 inch if your bandsaw will take the blade.
