[TheForge] New Bandsaw question

[Dave Mudge]

Dan I have used the HF little saw daily for 20 years.
Well, I used one for 15 years until I wore it out and the replacement 
is not as good as the first one, but for under $200 I don't think it
can be beat. I discovered the bi-metal blades after going through hundreds
of the regular carbon steel blades like HF sells or the local hardware
stores. Tyler Tool Co. welds up their own blades and you get a great little
64-1/2" bi-metal blade for about $13 or $14. (no fancy brand name)
I don't think that you can order bandsaw blades from the web site, you have
to call the 800 number.
