Good "all-around" bandsaw blade?
What's a good all-purpose blade for my 14" bandsaw? I use it for everything from chopping up scraps for the burn pile to cutting slight curves to light re-sawing.
I've got a 3/8" 4-tooth blade on there currently. Anybody got a better recommendation? I just HATE changing blades!!

Highland Hardware's Wood Slicer
I recommend and use the wood slicer from Highland Hardware. About $35 and is 1/2 inch 3 tpi. Unless you do scroll work on the band saw this blade will just about do everything I've ever asked for it to tackle. It also does not wear out like Craftsman blades will. I used one blade for over 2 years and the new one ( bought last year ) seems like it will give me good service too.
My bandsaw is a Craftsman 12 inch like Mike Ducheski has in his great videos. I sure wish I had a Delta cast iron table on it though but I've had the Craftsman for over 15 years. Still works great.
Happy Shavings and Holidays!
