You're a star 🌟 big thanks to AES and the others that have provided very useful help and info

I've seen that one, it was one of the first I looked at. I'll get in touch with a manufacturer and tell them my requirements, TuffSaws were great at responding when I need help with bandsaw blades. Short, clear and concise answers and in the context of the question. Thanks anyway and I've had...

I've bought them now anyway so I'll try them and report back

Thanks for the effort you put into the post. It's a little unclear, condescending and have by your own admission no knowledge and that is how it reads. Like someone with no knowledge has picked up a few words here and there and is now an expert. Like I said thanks for the effort you put into...

Thanks for the reply. I looked at the threads, numerous videos on YouTube and couldn't find anything that definitive. All I want to know is what blades to use on hardwood from about 9-18mm and is the link I posted suitable. Asking in good faith

I've got the one with the pdf but it talks about numbers not tpi. I have looked, honestly.

I'm still unsure about blade sizes. Some general purpose blades for cutting shapes into hardwood 9-18mm would be what number blade and tpi please. If anyone could help me with this it will help me stop throwing good money after bad I was thinking something like these...

I've got a feeling (I haven't checked...) That it'll take both. I'm in agreement with most of the thread, thanks for the tip on blade quality

Yeah, it's currently got a painless blade and tbh, I think I will try pinned. I'm not doing anything that needs the sophistication of a high end saw. Hopefully this will be adequate. Probably pay for itself pretty quick

I would say it was negative. It sounded like an honest appraisal. I couldn't ask for more than that... So thank you 😎

The blade tensioner is in a good place as per the Hegner in part 2 of the video. The blade change is nowhere near as good

Fair play for posting up responses. According to the side of the machine it mad arou 2001. Does that change your view on it's quality. I reckon it'll get me through the basics and then I'll get a Hegner if I find limitations. I did watch the video by Scrimper, very good actually 😎

I plucked up the courage to take of the side panel and swap the blade around. Good little machine, really pleased with it 😎

Any thoughts? I'm not brave enough to undo the bottom clamp. What sort of thickness is a machine like this be able to cut? All help appreciated 😎
