bandsaw blades
Obviously there is a max blade width that a bandsaw can accept.
Is there a method on how to determine this?
I would like to do some tight stuff by changing blades some resawing etc

Not sure what you mean by "tight stuff"???
I used to think the width of the tyres had something to do with it but the bandsaw mill I'm using runs 2" wide blades with tyres that are about 3/4" wide.
On my 19" BS the manual says it can run anywhere between 1/8 and 1.25" wide blades.
It might have something to do with the amount of tension that a BS can safely generate without damage?

The wheel dia normally limits the max blade size used as the larger blades cannot bend around a tight radius. The guides then limit the minimum blade size.
