Lenox - 1770089 Classic Tuff Tooth Band Saw Blade, Bimetal, Regular Tooth, Wavy Set, Positive Rake, 93" Length, 3/4" Width, 0.035" Thick, 14 TPI

I bought a "higher quality" Chinese horizontal/vertical metal saw that came without a blade. Good thing because the reviews all said to chuck the OEM blade and put a good quality blade on these machines for best performance. I mounted this blade and the machine did fairly well but cut at a slight angle. I tightened up on the blade tension after aligning the guide rollers and this blade cuts dead-nuts on every time now. I am a beginner welder and this blade on my machine has made cutting chores simple and easy tasks. I run the saw at a slower speed to keep blade heating down and use a cutting compound (TRIM Cutting and Grinding Fluids SOL/1) and after revising two old gates, the saw seems to be as sharp as when I first mounted it. Nothing beats a high-quality commercial blade!

Well, I don't know if there was a mix up with the order, but I purchased "1 item" and got like 7 blades. If that's normal and a part of the deal than I'll go with this company as long as I can. The blades are pretty good. They don't really dull or wear down too bad, but after a while as one would expect, their cutting effectiveness goes away drastically to where it takes forever to do a cut. Much to my surprise, the teeth still seemed ok. That's using a hydraulic lowering assist set to a very slow setting with all the cuts.

I use this blade to cut lots and lots of soft selenite stone in a manufacturing environment, and I learned early on to buy Lenox blades since they are industrial grade and last much longer than cheap blades from the big box stores. Worth the price.

I'm using this on a horizontal band saw with a cooling liquid pump. The blade has been tough as nails. I have cut a ton of stuff with it including multiple cuts through full size train track and high carbon billets from my knife making. I honestly can't believe it will still cut. I'm sure the use of cooling / lubricating fluid and setting the auto feed to lower the blade slowly has help extend its life but still. It just keeps gong and going. As long as it is available, this is the only blade I'll order for my metal saw.

UPDATE: Bought in March still going still cutting like new. 3 months on this blade now so I can leave much better feedback. Ordering another one today since I now know this is worth it. I want a backup since I know it will break or lose some teeth and not cut well someday but not soon as I believe it still has alot of life left in it. Was a little skeptical about the quality of this blade but it impressed me how well it cut 1/8" stainless steel pipe and square tubing.

Cut only one piece of steel and it worked as it is designed to do.

Very well made blade. Sometimes it just pays to buy the good stuff and this is one of those times. I have bought all kinds of blades in the past, but these blades work the best.

These are the brand to buy, very high quality.

Fit and does the job

These blades stand up really well the finer tooth ones don't cut fast but work good on thinner material will buy again

Excellent quality. Don’t waste your money on other brands. They don’t hold a candle to Lenox blades. I own a fab shop and cut truck loads of steel with no issues. Get some aqua tap cutting fluid and you’ll be amazed at how long these will last you.

Cut with very high level of noise . Cracked up and broke after only approx. 3 hours of cut time.

Does what it was intended for ...cut Metal Spot on job...thanks
