All of them break beyond where they were ground.
The Irwins break at about the same place. If they are going to go, they will generally go where the heat got to them, be it ever so slight.?

Bill re: breaking next to the weld
You should take back any blade that breaks 'at', (within the area that's been grounded to remove weld flash), the weld. That's a weld fault, not annealed properly. Any reseller worth their salt will accept this as a genuine manufacturing defect.?
The breakage from cyclic stress I was on about, happens anywhere else - jv

Heed the Vreede! What he says is absolutely correct!?

That said, I use these.
These are great folks at LA Cutting. I've been buying from them for several years. They also sell on eBay.?
The Lenox blades hold up longer than the other brands I have tried, and are well worth the cost. I cut a lot of harder steel alloys. I use Lenox blades on my portaband saw as well.?
When they do go, they are generally still cutting okay, but they break next to the weld, like most of them do.?
