Straight up went and ordered a $200 bandsaw blade, carbide, because of this video.... had to come back and say thank you, this cuts like butter!!! 3 TPI Lennox blade - USA.
@@BenOrford I am busy trying to find local a supplier. It's been a big issue. Been cutting by hand with a hack saw as band saw blades were only lasting a short time. Other option was a tile cutter. Thanks again...
@@danwerkman well I know friends in the US get them from Laguna saws but I got mine made from a Uk company think they were called saws Uk Hope that helps cheers Ben
Nice. I have heard of carbide bandsaw blades for re-sawing hard or especially abrasive timber, like teak. I bet that it works very well on stabilised knife handle wood too.
If you lower the throat (top guide) of the saw it's rollers will stabilize the blade and it will make much smoother cuts. It's also much safer. Lower it to within a 1/16 of an inch of the surface of that G-10, and you'll be amazed at the difference.
My solution: don't mess with G10. XD I like to stick to natural materials, which are not completely harmless depending on how you work them, but still way easier to handle than G10.
Sure I do wear a versa flo power respiration system but unfortunately not sure folks would be able to hear me on a video. Many thanks and glad you like the video. cheers Ben

Fantastic news so pleased it helped. I struggled for years so wanted to share the joy.
Many thanks cheers Ben
liked and subbed for your valuable info much appreciated happy cutting!!
Awesome tip....I have really been struggling with this...
Glad it helped. This blade is still sharp but has got a few cracks in the blade from work hardening but can be re welded.
👍

I've been thinking of buying a scrolls for shaping scales prior to glue up.
Any views on this idea?
Another helpful video Ben. Does the blade cut hard stabilised wood also?

Thanks mate!
Make sure to wear a respirator when cutting G10 with a bandsaw. That fine dust is very hazardous to your health. Thanks for the tip.

Many thanks and glad you like the video.

what rpm do you use?
I build catapults and I use a router cuts through 6mm like butter
Be nice if they came in porta-band saw lengths.
Any concerns breathing that crap in?
Sure extractor and breathing protection is a must 👍
