Sorry guys total novice with first bandsaw, it's a Axminster 350N, I have a lot of decking wood and wooden dinner table to play around with, the blade I got with the used machine don't seem to cut it well, the guy had the machine 4 years and it wasn't set up correctly, since I done the snodgrass setup it sounds better, but egar to cut wood and make saw dust lol
But need new blades as I think this ones blunt

I've just today cut decking on my axminster 350N. But (hiding behind the arris) it was all composite.
Standard tuffsaws blade went through it and left a factory quality edge, even though the blade is well used.

I found a good guide for bandsaw blades here
