Bandsaw blade

[Moen]

You guys, who use bandsaw to cut out glass bows. What blade are you use? I have only blades for wood. And its gone after one bow...

you need a carbide tip saw blade, or, a belt sander. I have used a table saw with a carbide blade. that is kind of spooky for me though.

I switched from a band saw to the belt sander to profile the limbs.

I can get a ton of belts for the cost of a good carbide tip blade.

I just got started and have only made one recurve. On advise from others on this site I bought a carbide tip band saw blade. I did not use it to cut the limbs, I used a 6" x 48" belt sander and it only took a few minutes to sand to the lines. I did use the band saw to cut the shelf and grip section in my dymondwood riser which did have fiberglass in it. After using the belt sander on the limbs I don't think I'll ever use a band saw on the limbs. I got my blade from "Bandsaw Blades Inc". I bought a cheap($37) hand held electric belt sander (1/2" x 9" belt size) from Harbor Fr@%ht and found it to be handy for shaping the grip and limb tips.

Two Tracks: I have use my tablesaw for my latest bows. And yes, its spooky. But i dont feel i get good control on lines with it.

If you use a belt sander, try the blue Alumina Zirconia planer belts from Klingspor. It's what I always bought for doing the rattan kids bows. They are agressive and they last a very long time. They have all the way down to 24 grit, so you'd get rid of material fast.

If you are going to do lots of bows, I'd consider carbide, but they are expensive! A lot of guys I know buy a decent blade and throw it away after a couple bows. Just part of what it takes.
