Page 32: Blade Information
Blade Length Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually unique to the brand of your bandsaw and the wheel diameter. The Model G1012 is designed for blades that are 124" long. However, the tension adjustment will accommodate blades up to a maximum length of 125" and down to a minimum of approximately 123"... - Page 33 (fine pitch) will cut slower, but smoother; while fewer teeth per inch (coarse pitch) will cut rougher, but faster. As a general rule, choose G1012 18" Bandsaw blades that will have at least three teeth in the material at all times. Use fine pitched blades on harder woods and coarse pitched blades on soft- er woods.
