Post by: joebuck on July 25, 2018, 04:44:12 PM: I found a .061 kerf ( infinity blades) but $169 bucks....My band saw is an old Sears 80" and i normally use a Woodslicer blade ( .025 kerf) but my drift is noticeable so .. I have a gabon/maple herringbone inlay i lay up so I am trying to stretch that material for max. number of inlays it can produce.

To be honest I've never considered using a thinner blade. It really seems like a good idea after all the work that goes into chopping up square lumber.
