The listed prices for the blades seem cheaper on detroitbandsaw.com, but they aren't Lenox Diemaster II blades. I'm happy to pay a few bucks more for the Lenox blades, since they do the job and are only welded by places certified by Lenox as having the proper equipment and training.

I'm definitely not saying that there is anything at all wrong with Detroit Bandsaw - I know nothing about them, so I can't pass any judgments on them one way or the other. They carry good product lines in their tools, it seems, so I'm sure they carry good blade stock as well. I'll have to give their blades a try one of these days so I can form an opinion.

The best prices I've gotten on the Lenox blades was from MSC when they had one of their periodic discounts on blades. At that time, the Diemaster blades came to around $24 for a 93" x 3/8" x 10/14V pitch Diemaster II. Naturally, I bought a decent stock of the sizes I use most at that time.
