    I’m wondering what the specs are for the bandsaw blade that was used in cutting the 13-ply Baltic Birch plywood.

    Is a carbide tip blade better for this? How many TPI?

    Many Thanks

    I use the same blades for cutting both solid wood and plywood and had no problems. I generally run low TPI in the 3-4 range but that’s mostly just because it cuts faster and I have a whole spool of it (and a friend with a band saw blade welder).
