The quarter-inch x 93.5 inch blade for my Delta BS snapped in half on
start-up. We had been cutting half-inch pine - about sixty lineal feet
of curved fence pickets Initially, the Bosch cut nicely - quite an
improvement. Then "bang," it went. Scared my wife quite a bit as she
was running the saw at the time - we now call her Band Saw Grannie!.

So I took it back to Lowes and traded it for another. After about
fifteen more pickets - it snapped in half! I'm on my third blade and
planning on taking it back, as well as the second broken blade.

Neither broke at the weld seam.

OK, what I'm looking to learn is the brand of Band Saw Blade I can
depend upon and a source or two for same.

I suspect a few folks will have questions as to how I set up my BS,
how I was using it, etc. More than happy to answer. But, from my
perspective: nothing different from how I've been using it for years
with the old blades.

Thanks in advance.

I couldn't locally find a bandsaw blade in the size (56-1/8) I needed
for my Black & Decker 3-wheeler other than a Bosch, so I am currently
trying one. So far it's working good. Cut through bone like butter,
tracked great and even kept the dust down. I'll see how long it lasts.
