I've gotten very good performance out of the ReSaw King. When I made the purchase decision, I couldn't find anybody who would resharpen the TriMaster. Laguna does have a sharpening service for the Resaw King, and I've used it. With a $200 blade, I can't afford to just throw it away if I hit a nail or something.
thanks for the reply

I did not have the money for the Tri Master(cabide blade) from Lenox to put on my 20" delta. I went for second best: the bi-metal resaw blade. I have cut over 1000 feet of walnut in the last 2 weeks with it. It is great. Sharp as can be. After using the Highland Hardware resaw blades for 2 years I can say this is a major step up in quality and endurance. This blade is tough. I have used the Tri Master(a friends) and it is heaven-clearly better than my bi-metal. If I can save a little more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I am going to Lenox for the "el supremo" blade. I don't know anybody who owns a Tri-Master who said they regret getting one. If you are not worried about nails in your wood(I am)- get a carbide Tri Master for resaw work- they are realllllllllllly nice.
downside: the blade I bought has 1-2 teeth per inch and the blade is fairly thick. If you want a blade for cutting thin veneer, THIS IS NOT the blade you want. This is a work horse to cut large timbers into working stock for cabinet work.
hope this helps. don't mean to sound like a Lenox saleman but I am really pleased with the Lenox and recommend it to other knotters.

Have you tried the resaw king by chance?
I use Lenox blades. However not the Lenox Tri-master.
One of the reasons I use them is (besides being a good product) is I have a local shop that makes them. The mostly deal with the metal trade (I believe) but the guy also does woorworking blades. I saw him sharpening a carbide blade for metal one time I was there. Quite a machine...
Maybe see if you have a local Lenox dealer near you and go talk to them. Just a thought.
Thank you.
