Chinese carbide bandsaw blades
I wonder anyone tried them? They look to be about similar to a Lenox Trimaster in terms of tooth geometries...

I just ordered one for my new bandsaw. And so far it cuts GREAT, like any carbide blade I'd expect. No idea how it copes with a 26" wheel and hope it doesn't break...
It costs about 300RMB, or around 50 USD and shipping isn't too expensive. It seems to have quite a bit of carbide meat on it so hopefully this means it can be sharpened quite a few times...
Seller says to watch for blade dulling, he says if it dulls it will break due to blade flexing too much. Another told me that it's hard to tell that carbide has dulled so to keep on a lookout for that and sharpen it as soon as possible.
Anyone had a carbide blade break on you before?
