I haven't broken any blades in mine since I fixed the bearings in the upper wheel.I must be doing something wrong . I have had my little 4x6 for over 10 years and have never broken a blade.

It's time to get some more band saw blades for my horizontal band saw.
I see claims that metal cutting bi-metal blades can have 5-10 times the life of hardened carbon steel blades.
They seem to be recommended for production shops,
but are they worth the extra expense for the home shop machinist?
Are they sharper?
