Olson Band Saw Blades

I have used them very sharp, last a long time, at $14 cant go wrong 8)

Would buy them, if have blades I use & need.

I don't think this offer is unique to my area. I think it's a national thing. If you have an Ace in your area and use Olsen I would check it out. The only question I might have of Ace is do they have a blade I can use or are the blade width or number of teeth of use to me.

I use Olsen blades on my 14" Ridgid (1/8, 3/16, and 1/4"). I bought them to get me through a weekend when I got this saw rehabbed and didn't figure they would last long. They have been a very pleasant surprise and are still cutting well over a year after I bought them!

Thanks gfadvm. From you that's a great endorsement.

I've never used them on the big saw and never used anything wider than 1/4" so bear that in mind.

I can get select Olson locally, they work well. I have used 1/4" - 1/2" for general cutting. Cut nice, track nice, good welds, with a decent cutting life. I don't think I have ever had a problem with one.

I need to resaw often and can't get the Olson resaw blades locally, so I have been using Timberwolf bands. From what I have read the Timberwolf and Olson have very similar resaw results - only the Olson is much cheaper. I'll be ordering some Olson resaw blades to try out next.

I wish i would have known this sooner. Just ordered 3 blades for 12" Craftsman online. I could have saved money on the blades and shipping. So far, these blades have exceeded my expectations!

Do they carry 105" long blades for saws with the 6" riser?

Mr.Ron, I am not sure. You might check by going to the Ace.com web site. Type band saw blades in the search area. I bought two more blades this morning. My wife is retiring from the story in a couple of weeks and wanted to make sure I could buy them with her discount.

Thank you Charlie75.

If you can get the Olson "All-Pro" series, they are pretty good blades.
They do wear out with frequent resawing, but so do all steel bandsaw blades.
