So I picked up this little toy band saw last weekend. Its a Delta 28-150. I picked out the poly tire chips and installed rubber tires and then crowned the tires. It runs smooth as silk now. I went to Lowes and got a Bosch 1/8” blade for scrolling. 15 teeth per inch, .014 thick. Too late, I read where this blade was for ¼” stock.
The blade cut like it was completely dull even though it was brand new even in ¼” plywood. The cutting noise was like fingernails on a blackboard.
So I’m seeking the advice from people that have used this saw with success or have found a type blade that performs adequately.
The off-the-shelf blades seem to be .014 thick. That’s pretty thin in my book. I’m hoping that someone here has found success with a thicker blade on this little saw.
