Default Harbor Freight Bandsaw Blades.

I'm fully aware of the crapshoot involved when buying stuff at Harbor
Freight.


Ah,, you're aware. But have you experienced it first hand?
In general, for my time, the cost of the disappointment has outweighed
the money saved. I have not tried their blades.

Of course, as always, the right choice just "depends".
Seriously, I hope you'll posts the results of your experiment.
Good luck!




My theory for HF is the same as for Radio Shack.
75 percent of their stuff is pure, unadulterated crap.
20 percent is usable if you're not expecting the kind of quality you get
with... well, real quality.
And 5 percent is actually pretty good stuff.

So where do the bandsaw blades fall in those categories?
I'm thinking of picking up some of their -$10 ones.
They have $20+ ones, too, but if I'm going to spend that much, I'll go to
Woodcraft.

Anyone actually use their blades? Are they.....
Crap?
Ok for the money, but don't expect much?
Better than average, a good bargain?
Diamond in the rough?

Or the final choice...
Wait for my Iturra Design catalog because they have great blades under 10
bucks?
