Question:

I have a Wood Slicer Blade on my Laguna 14" band saw. Can I use it to saw a 2 foot cherry log into usable boards?

Thanks,
Jay


Answer:

Jay,

A Wood Slicer should not be used to mill logs into lumber. The set on the teeth is too minimal for that type of cutting. Consider this blade for cutting green wood:
