That is a new one on me.

That'd be Razor-Tip, aka, stellite. In short, a very expensive mistake.

By the way, stellite blades will not saw off the side stops. I tried it once, with a brand new out-of-the-box blade :(. Didn't get any further then I did with a plain ol' Double Hard.

I feel your pain.

     Not any more, it ain't. :'(

[WDH]

It is now a razor-untipped blade .

Yup, there is not much that you can do about those screw ups except to claim um, wear um and share um. ;D

But no more...the See All mirror knows.

That's pretty neat!  Personally I would nerd-out and refer to as The Eye of Sauron.

I am now building my first band saw mill ... After reading the last couple post I think I'm going to
make a carriage stop if the dogs are to high for the blade to clear. I'm thinking this should be easy to do.
If a adjustable stop arm was put right in front of the blade guide it would hit the dog before the blade.
If the stop hits the carriage will stop or push down the dogs. What ever take the least effort.
I made all my dogs lay down the same way the carriage travels.

Kbeitz, look on the EZ Boardwalk mills, they have them. It's a piece of square tubing that comes to a point that hangs below the plane of the blade and on the top of the stops there is a piece welded on that it catches onto. Pretty slick idea, for sure.

Thanks... I will check that out...
