Best 1/4" bandsaw blade

Jack Guzman from Maine

I have a 14" jet bandsaw that I use for curved cuts. Mostly pine seat blanks. I just broke my 1/4" blade and the replacement is kinked but works. I need a new one. I want something that cuts easy in pine and will last awhile. Who makes the best blade for my uses?

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.

You should be using a 3/8" blade. Saw shops that weld them up use Lenox or Starett and they do well for me. At less than $10 a blade I have no motivation to explore other sources.
