What Brand Band Saw Blades Do You Like?

[rbattelle]

I've heard good things about Lenox blades, and I'm considering their Diemaster 2.



I'd like something with long life on steel and aluminum. Bi-metal. I'll need pre-welded blades.

When i worked at fastenal we sound lenox and had good reports back out of them and also morse blades.

I'm running a Lennox in my Ellis 1600 and so far I've been happy with it. That's the brand my local welding supply store carries and they were actually cheaper than buying off of Ellis' website.

we run some kind of lennox blade on our ellis at work, they seem to last about as long as the ellis blades just not as much $

I picked up a few Lenox Diemaster 2's (1/2" wide, 10/14V teeth). I've cut a few pieces of aluminum and some wood, and so far so good. We'll see how long they last.

Lennox makes a decent blade. Starrett, Nicolson and Do-All are fine blades as well.

So far I've got the Lennox Diemaster 2 and two Morse blades. Both Morse blades are carbon steel flex-backs (whereas the Diemaster is an M42 bimetal).

Used the 10 tpi Morse to cut some 1x2 solid steel bar. Worked fine.
