Re: The blade. What¡¯s the best all-around?
|
I broke my blade a few days ago and it is time to pick out another.? I remembered this thread, so I came back to review.? I can't add anything on the recommendations - you guys know far more than me.
But I thought I'd pass along that sels the linux blade Bill linked to below.? Their current price is $26.95, free shipping for orders over $50.? They often have coupon codes giving a discount? on larger orders.

FYI Chris, and all,
?
Here¡¯s the Irwin blade I have been buying:
My MSC price is $21.99. It was $14.99 last time I bought a couple.

This is (I think) the Lenox blade I was originally buying:
My MSC price is $30.15.

I don¡¯t know if you get a discount at MSC. My Enco discount was carried over when they killed off the Enco brand. (most of us wish that didn¡¯t happen)
Without a discount, I would sure be checking prices elsewhere. Pays to shop, regardless!

They do have a free shipping (UPS ground only) special on right now, and valid to 5/23/20. Use promo code FREE90.

Might be worth your while and wallet, to try both brands.

Lenox is an excellent choice.?
I started using Irwin blades several years ago, when Enco quit stocking Lenox.? They don¡¯t last quite as long, but the cost half what a Lenox does.?

?Brand new owner and want to buy a good Lenox blade. I¡¯ll be cutting bar stock from 1/4¡± through 1¡± and angle iron up to 2¡±x2¡±x1/4¡± and square tubing 1/8¡± thick 2¡±x2¡±. All mild steel. What would be my best blade selection if I only selected
one blade? Many thanks.
