I've done business for some time now with Louis Iturra of Iturra Design. I've bought replacement parts for my Delta/Rockwell 14" bandsaw from him, but recently I found out he had great prices on bandsaw blades too. I got a Lenox Tri-Master carbide blad for my saw for a LOT less than some of the other suppliers out there. I've had quotes as high as $190 for the same blade, but I got mine for $115 plus shipping.
He also carries a blade that is identical to the Woodslicer blades for around 30% less money.

Give him a call sometime and get their catalog.

I just made my first slice with the new Lenox blade, and it cuts very well.
The wood was quilted bigleaf maple. I didn't expect any problems, and I didn't get any, except the board wasn't the flatest thing going, so I had to really push to keep it up against the fence.
The blade sliced it quite nicely, leaving a very smooth finish.
There was no sign of wandering or cupping.
The fence was set dead parallel to the blade.

Later I try it out on some brazilian...
