Band Saw Blade

[Edro20]

Looking at buying some new blades for a band saw I bought. These should be bi-metal, right? Question is how many teeth per inch is best??

Any other tips on this subject are appreciated.

Thanks

Lennox recommends having 3 teeth in contact with the material being cut. So, the thinner the material the more TPI.

The best I have been able to do is 18 PI. I get those from ENCO. Seems to work ok, even on 3/64" 01.

I've been happy with the 14-18 vari tooth blades on material up .200.

I use 10-12 varitooth for everything thicker.
