OlsonSaw FB19493DB 3/8 by 0.025 by 93-1/2-Inch HEFB Band 6 TPI Hook Saw Blade

Installed on a vintage 14” grizzly and this blade cuts paper thin veneers in exceedingly hard wood. The cut quality is ready for glue. In fact, I just cut a piece of highly figured hard wood and the chatoyance was visible with zero sanding. I’d start with 320 grit on the cut, if I needed to clean it up, it’s that fine. I’d imagine it would do wonders in a better saw; but I’m quite impressed with it in my old saw. If there’s better, I don’t need it.

Fits my bandsaw and works as advertised.

Cutting through board glued together tends to dull the blades quickly

MY 14” bandsaw is 36 years old and the cheapest I could find at Harbor Freight. Over that period I purchased new tires for the cast iron wheels and several blades. My old blade broke so I went to Amazon to order a new one. I decided on 3/8” instead of a smaller one because I have been ripping some boards for smaller projects and a wider blade cuts straiter I noticed some rebuilt blades really cheap so I ordered one too, big mistake. I couldn’t get it to stay on track but it really made my new blade look good and it was so sharp. I am happy with my new blade!

I got this for a general purpose blade and it seems to work well, as expected. Also as expected, it doesn't resaw very well, but you need less TPI for that, and I got a 3 TPI blade for that, and just stuck with the Olson Brand. I have a high end wood store nearby and they carry Olson blades so they can't be all that bad?So general purpose sawing, great. Resawing, NO.

Best bandsaw blade I ever used! I've used a variety of bandsaw over the past 10 years from professional to industrial bandsaws but all the blades from them can't even compare to this one. This legit cuts like butter...even with complex curves. The wood doesn't burn with cutting, it's sharp, cuts so smooth and fast reducing my work time significantly! Im not even using this blade on an industrial bandsaw, just a 14in Porter Cable bandsaw but yet it cuts better than the industrial saw that I used days before. I'll always buy Olson blades for now on!

Bought this to replace a home-center blade that made a mess of the wood and that didn't track well due to a cockeyed weld. Followed Alex Snodgrass's video to install the blade and set up the saw. Best cutting blade ever.

Have used these in the past and have always gotten good results and fairly long term usage.

I just received the new saw blade. The seal tab on the box was open, the twist ties appear to have been retied, and there was saw dust in the box. Hard to believe this is a new blade. I installed it because I need it and it seems sharp enough, but it would have been nice to know I was getting an open box item. Those usually come with a discount.

The price is good, the blade is very sharp and sets up accurately. The only caution is its a very rough cut, not great for re-sawing thin veneer or laminations, too much sanding required to clean up the kerf marks.

Product is as per description, fit and perform as intended. I will procure again from this vendor.

Easy to install, "caught" without issue, cuts like a hot knife through butter.Will not use another brand again!

No issues. Quality as expected. Weld did not need to be ground down as with some.
