I switched to Lenox bimetal blades awhile back and they cost pennies more and last many times longer then the Timberwolf's I had in the past.
But sometimes getting them was hard as I don't have a local place and to often "hobbyists" are looked at as Uncle Sugar.
This place Rat Cheer. Good price. Shipped fast.
For my saw I use a ½" Di-Master II resaw blade. 35 bucks. For my use in my shop with my saw I get about 10 times the blade life I was getting out of TW's so in a way I'm looking at $3.50 per blade.

I have one of the Diemaster II blades on my saw right now. It doesn't cut quite as clean as a Woodslicer, but it's already lasted longer than the WS did. It's the one I'll use from now on, I bookmarked that page you linked.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Getting ready to upgrade my Jet 14 inch with a riser block. Was planning to buy some TS blades in 105. Will give these guys a shot.

For years I had gone to BC Saw and tool for all my BS blades, now their link goes to some other company, and there is no info about BS blades, looks like I need a change.
Whats the story between Diemaster, trimaster, flex back and woodmaster. Is there a correlation between cut and blade life for the extra $$$$$
This is the link for my 142"
Rikon 18" BS

As far as I know, the Diemaster 2 is a bi metal blade, the Tri Master has carbide teeth, and the flex back is their regular steel blade. The Diemaster 2 has very good life at a reasonable cost, and is rated for light non-ferrous metals as well. The carbide tooth blade is for guys with your money (and your saw, I've read of problems with it on smaller 14" saws), and I put the Flex back into the box with all other blades. Don't know anything about the woodmaster though, maybe that's another one of the "regular" blades?

Bought blades for my 12 " bs from them. No problems at all. Not looking forward to buying blades for my 36" saw when it's up and running. It's around a 20' blade but looking at pricing they are actually cheaper per foot than the smaller ones.
