Blade Selection
The Model G9743 uses 104
1
⁄2 x 1" 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 26.

by lowering the temperature of the blade and
workpiece and washing away chips.
