So I'm down to just a couple bands left, that is out of the 3 that came with the mill and a ten pack of ripper 37's I bought soon after, so I've gone through 10-11 bands in my first year to give you an idea how much I cut.
All I have tried have been 10 degree bands. I know there are 10's, 7's, and even 4's out there but I've never tried them. Most of what I cut is SYP with a little hickory, oak and a few oddballs thrown in. Whats the real advantages of the other hook angles, and does tree species (hardwood/softwood) make a big difference?
I'm probably looking for a ten pack, more than that gets too expensive and un-necessary seeing as how many I go through in a year. I think I paid about $15 a piece for the ripper 37s and am hoping to find something comparable.. what do you guys like? and why?
Thanks..
