PSA: My old band saw blade versus the new Lenox Woodmaster CT

I ran my old generic blade for six months, then swapped in the Lenox last week and cut through a whole beef hindquarter in half the time with zero drift. The difference in steel and tooth set is night and day, and I'm never going back. What's your top pick for a blade that holds up under heavy daily use?

I always bought the cheap blades until I tried a Lenox last year. The cut quality is just on a whole different level.

Totally agree with @emmaclark, good blades just change everything.

Yeah, and @tessa_murray, it's not just the clean cut. A sharp blade from a good brand puts way less stress on the tool's motor. My old saw used to bog down and get hot on thick stuff, but a proper blade just glides through and the tool stays cooler. Makes the whole thing last longer.

Different brands have different strengths too, @emmaclark. Lenox is good but a lot of Diablo fans would argue those cut even cleaner and last longer in the same price range. Just gotta try a few to see which one clicks with your saw and the material you're cutting most.
