It has been so long since my last order for bandsaw blades that I have lost where I bought them from. I'd had the same blade on my saw for a loooong time.....lol. I had one more left so I put it on yesterday. I made ONE cut with it and it stripped a foot of teeth off of it. No clue why it happened, but now I'm at a stand still until I can get a few more. Pretty sure I ordered my last ones out of PA, but for the life of me can't remember where. I cut strictly 440C. Any good recommendations on where to buy from?
Thanks guys.
 
I use m42 bi metal band saw blades from sawblade.com. Get the right TPI. Keep at least 3 teeth in the material at all times.
 
TPI stands for teeth per inch and if you were say cutting 1/4" material you would want at least 12 TPI as 12 / 4 = 3 so three teeth on the saw blade will constantly be touching the material you are cutting. I recommend a bit higher than 12 though.

For the record I use lennox blades and have not had any issues with them and the price is good.
