Wood Slicer Resaw
Bandsaw Blade

"I had to tell the good folks at Highland that the Wood Slicer bandsaw blade is absolutely the best resaw blade I've ever used. I have a small saw, can only resaw abt 6.5" and my saw usually struggles to get through a guitar body size piece of figured maple, but not with this blade. It's super sharp with that nice thin kerf. Makes it the best blade ever!" -Johnny from O'Kane Guitars
