I did some experimenting with an argon purge when I did some experimenting with an argon purge when I heat treated these latest blades. They did come out cleaner but there is still some work to do. Video at https://youtu.be/tK7zKn5SqyQ and linked in my profile.

I usually run my bandsaw in a vertical orientation I usually run my bandsaw in a vertical orientation. It has been years probably since I ran it horizontally. I didn’t realise how out of alignment the blade had gotten. A new blade and a few minutes of adjustment made a huge difference to the quality of cutting off these blanks.
