Carter has truly terrific support people. I must talk to them, to see if they are interested in giving discounts to Sandal Woods Members and readers. Dump the stock blade and get the Resaw King from Laguna, for the big work. For that class of band saw [...]

His recommendation is the CTR4 stabilizer combined with the 348 offset stud. He also sent me the engineering drawings for both the JET1 and the CTR4. It does look to me as though the combination of the CTR4 and the [...]

Merrill posted on the forum topic Carter stabilizer for Grizzly 17" band saw? in the group Power tools: Yeah, I don't see any reason to buy their conversion kit. And you're exactly right that the critical issue is the offset from the holder to the blade. That's what concerns me about the Jet1 recommendation since the blade aligns just outside the vertical tangent to the 20mm stud on the RIGHT side (as you [...]

She stated that the Jet1 is NOT the model to get. This is the info she provided: Stabilizer for the band saw: Carter's CTR-5 Offset Bracket: GRI U1, U2, U3 (these are a part of the Carter Conversion Kit) It might be best to call them back, [...]

However, the best fit today seems to be either their CTR1 for 14- to 18-inch band saws ( http://www.carterproducts.com/product.asp?product_id=28&cat_id=14 ), or their GRI1, for [...]

It will have a 2 x 72" sanding belt, driven by a 2hp motor and all kinds of attachments. If anyone has a resourse for wiring up VFD's and 3ph motors to Single phase I would really appreciate it. I have a single ph 2 hp 3450rpm motor I'm putting on the grinder but in the future I want a variable speed and the above set up seems to be the most cost effective. I'll post pictures as I go along.

My blade is 3 tpi. I am not sure if that is the only tpi for this blade. But for resawing, you want the least number of teeth, to allow the saw dust to be carried in the gullets. This becomes especially important when resawing wider boards.

The blade is terrific - and it can be sharpened, too, which is a huge plus for a premium blade. But, with typical care, it should last quite a while before re-sharpening is needed. You might want to check with Tim to see if the sharpening is done in the U.S., or whether [...]

All I have to decide is the tpi. The one in their video was a 3 tpi, I believe. What is yours, Al..? Or do they only come in 3 tpi..?
