Olson

Olson Saw Company has produced its blades in the United States since 1918 and continues to maintain domestic manufacturing. This makes Olson one of the few remaining American bandsaw blade manufacturers.

For resawing thick hardwood, a blade with a low tooth count—typically two to three teeth per inch—provides efficient chip clearance and reduces heat buildup. Higher tooth counts produce smoother surfaces on thinner stock and curved cuts but remove material more slowly.

The Bandsaw Blade Lube reduces friction and heat buildup during cutting, preventing resin and pitch from loading the blade teeth. This extends blade life, improves cut quality, and is particularly beneficial when working with resinous or dense hardwoods.

Blade replacement frequency depends on the species being cut, blade quality, and how the blade is maintained. Signs that a blade needs replacement include drifting during straight cuts, burning at the kerf, difficulty maintaining blade tracking, and visible tooth wear or cracks.

Narrower blades—typically 1/8 to 1/4 inch wide—allow the tightest curves because the narrow body flexes through turns without binding. Wider blades are better suited to straight cuts and resawing where rigidity and tracking stability matter more than curve radius.

Yes, provided the blade length and width are correct for your specific saw model. Always confirm the required blade length, width, and thickness for your bandsaw before purchasing replacement blades.
