So, the wood slicer is about $30?
The guy in Boone is not part of WoodCraft woodworking stores, I don't deal with those folks. Everything possible from Klingspor.
But I found this guy in Boone, works from home, used to be the bandsaw expert at Vermont American. Really knows his stuff.
He uses Starrett and Lenox roll goods to make up the bands. Very high quality control and the blades are around $15 each.
I usually order 5-10 at a time for my Rikon deluxe 14.
And usually get them in a few days.
He also has what he calls 'hobbyist' blades for around $5-6 each in standard sizes to fit smaller saws. And they are better than what comes on those saws.
If you haven't tried his blades you really should, otherwise you are throwing away good money for no good reason.

I suspect the blade is trash. Get a new blade.
www.woodcraftbands.com is the least expensive place to get the best quality band saw blades.
Call and tell the guy what saw you have and what you want to cut and he will advise you on which blades to get.

I ordered some blades today and John indicated that he might not be in business much longer. Most of his big customers are shuttered because of the virus.
He was glad to get an order. Really nice person! So, if you need blades, he is not busy now.
