I can't resist a bargain, no matter how useless or silly it is.
Yesterday I saw this $79 blade for $12. My will power melted away and I bought it.

How foolish was I?

I don't know but here is the defining question. Do you have a band saw it will fit? If so, you got a bargain. If not, well . . .
It's a bimetal blade, and so if you got the 2-3 TPI version, I'd say you got a pretty good deal on a resaw blade.
I bet it's a very good blade It has a Raker set so one left one right and straight.Should Resaw wood very nicely
When it gets dull send it out for sharpening.If it come back without a big burr on one side that's a keeper.

That seems like a killer price to me.
I think that will be a slow cutting blade. not much room for the chip load, low or no rake angle. Probably not enough set for softwood.
Let us know how it works in wood.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just got a 222" X 1-1/4" blade for $19.00.....
I feel better now, thanks.
I was just concerned because it doesn't mention "wood" as something it can cut; thought there might be a reason why.
Bimetal blades are great for wood with the right tooth style/set. They last a long time. I looked for blades for my saws, but I don't like using wide bands, 1",11/4" which is all I could find available.
Am I the only one that sees "BS" and doesn't at first think "Band Saw"? Normally I wouldn't mention this, but it really reads funny. My thought was if it's a BS blade, well, sounds like you answered the question already.
For $12, even if you only get one project's use out of it...
