Carbon Steel Bandsaw Blade 73" x 1/2 x 3 TPI

Fine Woodworking's test of Highland Woodworking's carbon steel bandsaw blade yielded impressive results. This blade was chosen as a top pick for cutting speed and smoothness of cut among a field of 19 quality blades, and won the top honor for flatness of cut. We having been saying for years that this carbon steel blade leaves a smoother kerf than other popular brands we've tested, and their welds are the best we've seen in general-purpose blades. Tooth set is modest, trading just a bit of minimum radius capability for cleaner cutting. The 1/16" blades with pronounced tooth set let these extremely narrow blades literally turn on a point.
