Blade Selection

The Model G0561 uses 93" x 34" bandsaw blades.

Selecting the right blade for the job depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of mate- rial being cut, hardness of the material, machine capability, and operator technique.

We suggest you do some research for your spe- cific situation so you get the best blade to match your needs.

Grizzly is proud to offer a variety of selections that can be found in the current catalog and in SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 28.
