Good point Tim...

I only run 3/4" for this process of cutting curves and have never tried wider blades for it. I have run 1/2" and that may be better, if you can find one...

Do you think "more set" would actually be better?

I have found (sometimes on certain woods) when cutting "free form" on bandmills of all types it is typical to run the narrowest blade width as possible for the machine (and tension set) with "little to no set" in the teeth...This allows the curves and undulations to go in any direction more freely...

Regards,
