User questions & answers

Question:	Will this blade fit a Delta benchtop bandsaw I believe my measurements are a56 .25 I think that makes it out to be at 9 inch band saw
Answer:	This blade measures 93 1/2 inches. So it would be to long.
Question:	Will this blade fot a 14 inch central machinery bandsaw
Answer:	No clue what size fits that saw. the blade is 93 1/2" in circumference so measure the blade you have. I find using a piece of string then marking it makes it easier to than using the steel tape alone. If no blade, measure around the wheels. Move the blade tension adjusting knob to see if the 93 1/2' falls within the adjusting range. Use that string method.
Question:	can you use a metal cutting blade
Answer:	This would not work as a metal cutting blade
Question:	Will this fit grizzly go555lx
Answer:	Yes, if you have the standard six inch height. If you have installed the six inch riser block, you’ll need the 105-1/2” blade.

Answer:	depending on the material you are cutting like wood would cut better and faster with like a courser plade say 6-8 teeth per inch if you use 16-18 teeth per inch it would take 4 times as long on a 2x4" wood piece, where as steel would require 12 -14 or 16-18 or 24 teeth per in. depending on steel hardness and thickness. use their recommended guide.
