Best Bandsaw Blades?

[i4Marc]

Workin' with the ol' cheapo HF horiz/vert bandsaw. I believe it's a 64.5" blade. What are some recommendations (with links) to very durable and aggressive tool steel eatin' bandsaw blades? I'm not particularly happy with the Diemaster blades I've been using from Lenox.

Pretty sure they ship to the USA but onlinesupply.ca has tons of selection and can make you any size you want. Super quick getting them to your door too. Usually one or two days and that includes when they have to make it for you. Price is very good too.

I have used MK Morse Bimetal M42, they are very good blades.
I recently switched to normal carbon steel blades though. They cut my steels (14C28N, RWL 34, AEB-L) really well, honestly I can't see much of a difference so far. But they are half the price of M42 blades. The major reason I got them in the first place though, is that the blade width/ TPI combo I want for my sawing virtually cannot be found in M42.

i do batches of 10-15 blades to send out for heat treat, i use the cheapie bargain blades but i have to change it after i profile the blades every time.. then i put on a fresh blade for making the rest of the knife. i would not mind paying double if i can get 2 sets of profiles and blades done. looking forward to the suggestions.

Hey John, congrats on the article in Sept. Blade.

I went with the M42 from USA Bandsaw Blades(G&M Bandsaw, Inc.) because I needed something fast but still interested in suggestions.

The Bi Metal blades from Super Cut at HF are pretty good.

Here is a tip, keep the receipt and if it breaks within 3 months they will replace it, they will give you another receipt and it is good for another 90 days, if it breaks return it.

The super cut bi metal blades have lasted me over a year without breaking

Good tip Adam. I'll take a look next time I'm there. I've only had a narrow blade break (two days ago). The main problem seems to be losing teeth and dulling.
