16 Which saw blade should I buy?

To summarize the article:

An expensive blade will typically last longer than a cheap
blade and the cost difference is made up by the number of
extra sharpenings available from the investment.

A blade that has been tensioned will run truer and cost more
than a blade that hasn't been tensioned.

Carbide blades will last up to 60 times longer than steel blades.
