Carbide tiped blades

[arj]

Anyone get a call about carbide tiped bandblades? I got a second call
today, made in sweden, tiped in germany, sold and sharpened out of
Calif. They don`t know how much it will cost for sharpening, but a
sample blade is $75.00. Kind of high for a hobby type opperation.I have
a name and number if anyone wants to check it out.

I saw these advertised in one of the trade mags I recieve and went to their web site to get more info. When I found out the price, I backed off. Sharpening the blades wasnt what scared me off, it was the fact that about one out of four blades I use on my band mill seems to break and I didnt want to replace a blade thaqt cost that much due to breakage no matter how long it cut.

I just got my call from them about an hour ago. Don't matter if I am on the state no call list. :( Told me how good a deal they are at $75.00, how much money I would make and how cheap that would make the blade. I told them if they were that proud of that blade they could send me a free sample  ;D, weren't that proud of it.

I figure if the material is that good a free sample would gain a lot of customers, don't guess they did. ;D
