Rele,
If inexpensive is what’s on your mind, this online company selling blades http://www.sawblade.com is for you. Prices for their blades are 30% less compared to the other brands. That’s quite a good deal. Just tell the sales representative your story and they will gladly help you out finding the right blades for you.

Ah shucks. One time I was using the bandsaw & had to take a break. Well, someone played a 'joke' on me & turned the speed control to high. I never checked when I went back to finishing what I was doing and before I could shut it off, the bandsaw blade shot across the room and one or both of the tires were ruined....

Somebody could of been hurt; it happened so fast; I couldn't get any words out... Someone was laughing, but I failed to see the humor. But lesson learned: always check the speed.

That could lead to an accident. A costly lesson to learn. Nice thoughts, always check the speed

The best blades for me are blades from this site: http://www.sawblade.com. They last longer than any other blade I had.
