Re: Bad blade from HF?


 

I only use the Bi-metal blades and I get MONTHs from them. While I don't use the bandsaw every week and I only purchased them with the 20% discount coupon(NOW GONE).? I still have 8 blades ready to go.

That includes drill bits, end mills, saw blades, whatever. I have found that it is well worth the extra money, to get quality cutting tools.

Lenox, is a good choice.

Subject: [4x6bandsaw] Bad blade from HF?

?

So about a month ago, the blade in my saw broke while doing a long cut (2" thick/7" long), probably needed lube!? When I got that blade (HF) it also behaved oddly, but settled and cut really straight.? The new blade (also HF) cuts at about a 7-8 degree angle, which is highly annoying to say the least.? I swapped out the guide bearings, just in case, and although one was toast, it didn't make a difference while cutting.? Are some HF blades bad from the git-go??
