I need to buy some new hacksaw blades- seems like a good time to upgrade if I can. Sporting some locally sourced Lenox 12"ers. Have you used anything you like better? Good price helps, better quality is more important.
Thanks-

Eric,
I've been liking these Starrett blades, http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?P...PMAKA=327-3461
On par or even a bit better than the Lennox ones, imo. Sometimes they have them in their monthly sales flyer, so that's a good time to stock up.

By far the best blades I've ever used, and will continue to use, are Morse 32t blades. I bought a pack of 10 so long ago I don't remember where I got them. I've never broken a blade and few teeth and they last a long, long time.
I tried some Morse that just tossed teeth (not as badly as their hole saws though). I'll see if I can track down either of these in town and try a couple out. In reading Starrett's info it looks like the Greenstripe would be a safe bet.
Thanks guys-
Eric

That may be a while though. The Green ones are lasting me well, and I don't build frames for a living. Takes me a lot longer to wear stuff out than you pro's.
