Hello my name is Alex, i am from Germany and I am reading here every day. Till now I did not post so much, just enyoing the show....
Question:
I bought some Ziricote lumber and I will resaw it by myself. I have a big bandsaw, and already made lots of experience with resawing BRW and other Dalbergias.
Till now i always used a bandsawblade from a German supplier, called HEMA, the band called HEMA IKARUS. It works fine, has a medium kerf and overall is for shure a good blade, but I am not satisfied with the quite fast glogging (clogging???)...well it gets too fast too dirty and slimey with wooddust and oils, so i always have to stop the saw, clean the blade with aceton and so on. It also dulls quite fast, well it is ok, but now i have to resaw some more.
So i want something better, I want to try the Woodmaster CT from Lenox.
I tried to order one blade via Internet, doesnt work. So I found out that Lenoy has a distributer here in Europe, in the Netherlands. They sent me a salesman, i had a ice coversation about bandsawblades, but he told me, unfortunatelly Lenox Europe has not the blade i want, the 27mm x 0,9mm with 1,3 TPI.
But he made contact to Lenox USA, and they would ship me some Blades. YUHUHUHUHHHHH,
BUT: The minimal order quantity is 5 blades, wich would cost me about 650 Euros, and thats quite a lot of money for me.
Can anybody recomment the Woodmaster CT for resawing Ziricote, or does it dull quickly? Does it clog fast?
Hoping for answers form the very nice and supertalentet people here....
Here a link of a guitar i built, just to prove that I am not a fake asking stupid Questions:

You know, it is just awful lots of money for me for 5 sawblades, so I must be sure that they work well for my job.
Best Regards and wishes, alex
