Thanks for tip Rich. In the end I went with a Timber Wolf. I figured, what the hay, if I were getting more than one, I'd probably get the Olson's for the better price.
So I got the blade installed and did a test run. No weird noises, but I am getting a fair amount of vibration. It's not enough to mess me up if I'm trying to cut something, but it's more than I expected. Most of the vibration is in the upper half of the band saw, and it travels into the table from there. In the lower half (and the stand) it's pretty minimal, if any at all, but I expect that since it has the most mass. In any case, not really sure what's causing it.
And I'm having a bit of trouble tensioning the blade properly. I'm supposed to release the tension until it starts to flutter, but I darn near de-tensioned it as far as it would let me and didn't notice much of a difference. It was definitely getting looser (I would turn it off occasionally and feel the blade itself), but I didn't see much in the way of flutter. I was tired though (and irritated, lol), so I'll go back out there tomorrow and take another look at it.
