I have a Grizzly 14" bandsaw with a riser block installed. I use is mostly for resawing and ripping rough stock. I've been using a Woodslicer blade from Highland Woodworking for resawing some 8" red oak but it is getting dull. I'm thinking of ordering a carbide blade and am wondering if anyone has experience with the Lenox vs. Laguna blades. As far as I can tell, the Lenox blade has carbide imbedded teeth (whatever that means) and the Laguna has welded carbide teeth. The price difference is a lot but I'm guessing the old adage "you get what you pay for" would apply. That being said, I am a hobbyist woodworker and I don't know if it would really pay to spend the extra money if all it is buying me is longevity. At my age, either one might outlive me-lol.
