Who makes a good blade for a portaband? I've used Lenox which liked to crack and break at the weld, and Princess Auto ones (think Canadian Harbor Freight, convenient, but questionable quality) which seem to dull in no time at all. I see DeWalt and Milwaukee listed on the home store sites, Starrett and MK Morse listed on Roark Supply's site as US made.
Any tips for getting the most out of a blade? I mostly cut 1/8" - 1/4" wall mild steel tube, occasional flat bar or rod that's thicker. I'm thinking I want 10/14 tpi and wavy tooth pattern?
