I am in the process of cutting some blanks from some semi-dry wood (beech and sycamore). They are up to 6 inches thick and I am struggling with my bandsaw which is a Record RSB12. Am I expecting too much from this machine? I need some new blades and see quite a variation in price in the catalogues that I have but Screwfix seem about the cheapest. Is there any problem with their blades? If so which are the best/better? What is the optimum specification for cutting fairly thick blanks up to about 10 inches in diameter? All advice will be appreciated. Thank you. Peter
