Hi check twice,I too use the 2tpi on my band saw. It cuts green wood and limbs very well. I did experience a 'poop' in the pants near accident however. Because it is very agressive,I got it hung on the start of a resaw pc approximately 8'' tall(I have the riser). It flipped the pc and pushed the table down,no real problem. I now am more careful and secure a tall pc that I resaw and ease it into the blade. I think a 3tpi will be my next blade. I too use a 1hp motor,but rather have a 1 1/2hp. dtoggs |
