Olson bandsaw blades any good?

[dwarmbrodt]

My local Woodcraft only has Olson brand blades in 82". Being a bit cheaper than the preferred brand (not in stock of course...) and not familiar with the brand, I value all opinions given.

I've used the Olsen Pro and they are far superior to the crap that came with the saw.
The smaller the blade the more chance of breakage. The 1/8" I had did well for a while but it eventually broke because I got too aggressive.
They are good blades, IMHO.

I've used the Olson a couple of times and have no complaints.

I also use Olson bandsaw blades. 82 inch, 3/8, 4TPI and 1/2. Been using them about 4 months. No breakage, no complaints.

Got this 82 inch 1/2 4TPI band saw blade online for $13 . The weld and quality are the best.
