I looked up the TriMaster site. For my bandsaw, a 3/4" carbide blade would cost about five times what a Timberwolf costs. I'm not happy with the life span of the T'wolfs, but are the TMs worth five times as much? In other words, will it last five times, or more, longer than a non-carbide? For my 14" machine a blade would cost about $120.00.
