That is a good deal Jeffrey, I wonder if they are exactly the same. I've been looking at BS blades and didn't think there was that much in them unless Highland is gouging for their version. Let me know if there is a manufacturer stamped on the band. I know who makes their regular blades but don't know if it's the same as the resaw blade.

He said (not sure who "he" is in this case) that they were identical and come off the same roll. I didn't know what to ask for since I didn't have the catalog so I said I want the "blade like the Woodslicer at Highlands". He advised "Its not like the Woodslicer, it IS the Woodslicer. It comes off the same roll/machine." He advised Highlands has Woodslicer trademarked, thus their using whatever name they use. I'll look at the band closely and advise. It should be here by the end of next week.
I replaced a 3/4" timberwolf 3tpi with an Iturra 1/2" 3-4TPI. The Iturra performed much better. I was led astray by the folks at timberwolf who recommended the 3/4" for my Griz 14". It cut straight but really, really slow and on occasion when I was resawing, would trip a breaker. Blade was too heavy for my saw.
