I just picked up a very lightly used Grizzly G1073 16" Bandsaw. It was an awesome buy, full cast frame, cast wheels, the thing is a tank!
I now have to buy new blades, since my 14" blades won't work on the new saw. I would like to pick up 3 blades to start. I would like to have a resaw blade, a general purpose blade (larger curves, ripping rough wood to width), and a finer blade for tighter curves.
The saw is rated for 1/8" to 1" blades and has double roller bearing guides. What recommendations does the group have for my first 3 blades to buy?
Also, very confused on what a hook, raker, alternate set, etc. means. Any help would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
