Anyone here ever order from them?
Been scouring the net for bandsaw blades for my dinky 10" Craftsman and
aside from the junky blades Sears has (or claims to have, none are in stock
in my area), all I've found is Lenox blades. They have quite an array in my
size, 70.5, but they are an unknown to me.
Would it be better to wait the requisite 14 days for UPS to ship a Lenox
blade or go pester Sears and probably get one in a few days?
It's not like I need it right away, but I've never done business with
Toolcenter so it's hard to guage whether it's worth it or not.

I've used Lenox metal cutting blades (in metal cutting bandsaws), but
not their wood cutting blades. Lenox is a respected name, or at least
was a decade or so ago.

Where are you located? Most big cities have tool supply stores that will
make you a blade to order and usually cheaper than the prepackaged name
brand ones. Most all BS blade makers will custom make blades for the same
price as premade.

I have been getting blades from Circle Saw in Tucson for years. They
will ship. Probably do VISA. 520-624-9090.

Dont know about lenox blades but Highland hardware, at http://highlandharew=
are.com
has a blade called wood slicer, which is a great bandsaw blade and
they list 70 1/2 in the blade size list. you might want to check it
out.

Didn't know that. I'll look around see what's local. Might even be able to
get it from the same place I buy my rough lumber from.
