I've never seen a 14" machine that could really use 3/4" blades.

My Jet JWB14SDX with a Riser seems to handle one. I have a
low-tension PS Wood 3/4" blade.

Have you done any comparison with a 1/2" blade? People more
experience that I am has said the 1/2" actually gives a better cut
with less resistance on a 1`4" saw. That is the only one I've tried
so far so I don't know if it makes a difference.


Wasn't that the gist of the Michael Fortune article on bandsawing in a
recent FWW? I saw him give a presentation on inlay technique at the recent
wood show, and he seemed pretty lucid, in spite of having recently authored
an article which went against all conventional wisdom on veneer cutting.

Every once in a while, someone comes along with a new thought, and I have
to start thinking all over again. ;-)
