I just purchased a used Bridgewood 540 bandsaw and am wondering if there is a minimum width of blade I can use on this saw. I have a nice 1 1/4" carbide tipped blade for resawing, but this saw runs so well and has such a big table, I'd also like to use the bandsaw for more general tasks. I have the manual, but it mentions nothing about a minimum blade width. The tensioner shows a recommended tension for 1/4" blades, and I know I can buy 1/4" blades of the proper length. Do you see any reason I couldn't use a 1/4" blade on this saw?
Thanks,
Ken
