Olson Saw FB08580DB 1/8 by 0.025 by 80-Inch HEFB Band 14 TPI Regular Saw Blade

dislike the price

Bought this for my sears 12 inch band saw. The blade quality compared to the OEM blades I had been using was immediately obvious. I used the blade to cut through 3 inches of butternut wood for a carving pattern. I was able to follow along the pattern lines and make very small radius turns. It worked flawlessly. I bought it for band sawing out birds and animal patterns for woodcarving and would purchase another one in the future.UPDATE: The blade worked just as described above. However after blanking out several bird patterns it has started burning the wood as it has dulled down too quickly. Cleaning and stoning while turning the blade manually in reverse helped some but it still doesn't cut as freely as it did when new.Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a 1/8 inch blade with less than 14-16 teeth per inch which is a lot through 3 inch thick wood.

Good quality. Company sent wrong size to start but replaced it quickly with the correct size. Great service.

I could tell within the first few seconds of making my first cut that this blade is much better than the Bosch blades I've been using. It seems like the cut is just a hair wider so maybe its a thicker blade, but most importantly the Olson blade is sharper than the Bosch. Even when the Bosch blade was new, I felt like I was pushing the workpiece into the blade whereas the Olson blade cuts like butter with no resistance. I mostly cut plastic sheets, but occasionally I do need to cut wood or MDF. This blade cuts everything better. I've probably made a couple hundred cuts and there's no sign of it getting dull yet, and no breaks. The quality seems to be on par with the more expensive Timberwolf blades. I just ordered a couple more of them.

Good value for the money. Holding up well.

it’s ok.

Excellent blade. Outlasting the bosh blades by far. I use it for cutting a lot of decorations that have sharp corners. Plywood,birch,pine,oak and pine. The blade cuts fast and I will buy more! I have this brand on my Jet bandsaw and love it but was unable to find it for the craftsman until I checked Amazon.

My uncle, who has been carving and sculpting wood for over 70 years says that this is the best cutting bandsaw blade he's ever had, and that's saying something!

Perfect fit for the band saw

Great quality.
