Great blades, been using the same one for the last 8 months. Buy two just in case. About $30 each.

I would suggest you find out where your nearest SAW supply place is and ask them if they carry LENOX Diemaster 2 Bi-metal blades. It runs around .24 cents an inch generally depending on the width of the blade, I use 1/4" wide and 3/8" wide blades which run that price + a welding charge of maybe 6-7 bucks. I have been using a custom blade the local place around here welded for me for over a year now and i have made several hundred cuts of all types in A2 from 1/16" to 3/8" thick.

http://www.lenoxtools.com/enUS/Product/DIEMASTER_2.html is the specs of widths and teeth per inch that the diemaster 2 is available in. Blades last a looooooooooong time. I use a 133 inch personally on my bandsaw.

Check the local welding supply houses as well. Another would be www.useenco.com thay have great sales from time to time.

Lennox Diemaster II for profiling or Lennox Classic for heavier straight cuts. I use 18 wavy for everything from 1/16 to 1/4 inch stock with good results.

I buy from the place above because of great service. They bend over backwards for my business. You may save a buck or two elsewhere but stick with the Lennox blades
