You will forgive me if this is not to be posted here. But I wanted to let you know of a real money saver.
I have a bandsaw that uses blades 64.5 inches long. I have been getting my blades replaced for free after about 12 hours of use. Its a manufacturing defect. Yet if you go to Home Depot and buy "Ridgid" blades and they brake, Home Depot on the back of the package has put Lifetime Guarantee on them.
Basically your using these blades long enough till they start to get dull. Then the blade breaks of its own before it it completely dull, (actually I have had only 2 blades I could not return in the last 10 years).
Here is the link to what I buy. Link Here (http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xh3/R-100195896/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053)
Dont go by the picture. I believe the picturer is for the 14tpi as opposed to the 24tpi that I use.
