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.

*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? ____

I quit using HF blades a long time ago ... I buy my blades from www.lacuttingproducts.com now , great blades and reasonable prices . Use code MAGLAS for a 10% discount . Every blade failure I've had with their products is because I did something stupid ...
