Call and tell them what model saw you have and your intended purpose. If they don't have it as a stock item, they can build it for you. Great folks and service.

Thanks for the info. I did order a couple of blades from Grizzly, and they are Timberwolf blades, I have used them before and very pleased with the blades.

I also got majority of the dimple out.

I learned to do this many years ago. Folding the blades is drama free. Unfolding the wider ones especially can be exciting. I learned to take them outside and let the blades fly free into the grass away from me.

You may be the person that I learned the unfolding-outdoors trick from. I'm pretty sure that it was in a thread here.

I agree that folding the blades is drama-free once one learns and has some practice at it.
I've been doing it so rarely the last few years that I went back to using gloves and a faceshield when I do.
Usually, things go fine and they are just extra/unneeded protection. When muscle-memory fails me and I muck up, I am glad that I put them on.

I agree completely with using gloves when folding and unfolding bandsaw blades.
I have also done the let it fly onto the lawn….
