I have a 5 year old Grizzly 1HP and I run a 1/2" 3tpi skip tooth Woodslicer. Nice blade.
Today I was re-sawing some 4" Maple and it would hardly cut. I took my time but it took me a few minutes to get through a 3 foot piece. I actually popped a breaker at one point. I'm a home hobbiest and I don't use this much but I like sharp tools.
I think that for most folks band saw blades are just replaced.
HAs any one tried using a Dremel tool to touch up the blades. I see online several folks recommend it (youtube).
I'm thinking about getting a few 5/32" diamond bits and giving it a try.
I realize that when you sharpen you remove some set from the blade but, if I can extend the life of these things, I think it might be worth a try.
Have you had any luck gumming out the gullets with a dremell?
Thanks
Mark
