I broke my blade a few days ago and it is time to pick out another.? I remembered this thread, so I came back to review.? I can't add anything on the recommendations - you guys know far more than me.

But I thought I'd pass along that sels the linux blade Bill linked to below.? Their current price is $26.95, free shipping for orders over $50.? They often have coupon codes giving a discount? on larger orders.

FYI Chris, and all,

?

Here’s the Irwin blade I have been buying:

My MSC price is $21.99. It was $14.99 last time I bought a couple.

This is (I think) the Lenox blade I was originally buying:

My MSC price is $30.15.

I don’t know if you get a discount at MSC. My Enco discount was carried over when they killed off the Enco brand. (most of us wish that didn’t happen)

Without a discount, I would sure be checking prices elsewhere. Pays to shop, regardless! J

They do have a free shipping (UPS ground only) special on right now, and valid to 5/23/20. Use promo code FREE90.

Might be worth your while and wallet, to try both brands.

? I suggest a bi-metal 10-14 tooth. That is all I use for everything, for steel, aluminum, bronze, and plastics.?

Lenox is an excellent choice.?

I started using Irwin blades several years ago, when Enco quit stocking Lenox.? They don’t last quite as long, but the cost half what a Lenox does.?

?Brand new owner and want to buy a good Lenox blade. I’ll be cutting bar stock from 1/4” through 1” and angle iron up to 2”x2”x1/4” and square tubing 1/8” thick 2”x2”. All mild steel. What would be my best blade selection if I only selected one blade? Many thanks.
