Denis Marier not unreasonably asked:
Whatever he had on it. Memory says it was hooked, about 3 tpi, but it's long enough ago that I can't be sure. Definitely not a top-quality resaw blade, but my guess is that a better blade would only have bought me a few more inches of cut before disaster struck. It really was not a saw that inspired confidence.

Denis, Your experience is a good example to all of the old rule of bandsawing: never push a piece through a band saw with your fingers or hands in line with the blade. Be paranoid around all power tools; it will help you keep all your digits where they belong. Have happy, safe holidays.
