Thanks .. My preference is not to de-tension it every other day.?? Any recommendations between Lenox Tri-Master versus Laguna Resaw king? I¡¯m assuming they are similar

Ariel, I don¡¯t think you are missing a thing! I don¡¯t have Lenox blades, but I do have resaw king blades on my Italian laguna and they perform exceptionally well. I have two and the one blade has been going strong since 2004. I am the second owner of the saw and the blade, but I¡¯ve personally had it sharpened 2-3 times. I¡¯m about due to send in both of my blades for sharpening. I just resawed a 7-8¡± tall piece of 8/4 Sapele and the saw was groaning a bit under my feedrate. I think I average about a year¡¯s use for hobbyist work between sharpening.?

Chris, I don¡¯t de-tension my 20¡± saw. Your wheels will be slightly narrower, but i haven¡¯t seen any ill effect in 4-5 years of being lazy.?

Lenox carbide rocks!

I honestly don't understand why people are still using regular spring steel induction hardened blades or even bi-metal blades for resaw when the results from the carbide bandsaw blades is so much better? I am using a Lenox carbide blade on a MiniMax MM16 and the results are beautiful. Yes, it is more expensive but it lasts for very long time so the overall cost is lower. Maybe on a horizontal sawmill that might get rough or uncut lumber with nails and bullets you don't want to risk an expensive blade but for shop made veneer and bookmatched pieces it is hard not to see the benefits of carbide bandsaw blade.

What am I missing?
