Those are only available in 1/2" and 3/4" widths which are too wide for the 10" Craftsman/Rikon saw. I know they claim to take up to 1/2" but that's the width of the tire and in my opinion just isn't workable. I'm still using the same 3/16" x 14TPI raker I posted about earlier and it is still making smooth cuts through whatever I put through it. I agree that a scroll saw can do some things better (sharp turns, inside cuts, etc.) but this bandsaw is my go-to tool of choice mainly for the mitre slot and fence.
