I spoke with Lenox technical service department since I could not find diemaster 2 blades for my newly purchased Milwaukee 6232

http://www.milwaukeetool.com/tools/.../deep-cut-variable-speed-band-saw-kit/6232-21

I read on this forum that the diemaster 2 were great blades but they do not make them in 44 7/8" blades in this line. The Masterband line was recommended that also is M42 high speed steel.

Item numbers are:

80143385EW812 8 and 12 tooth varitooth
80144385EW81014 10 and 14 tooth varitooth
80145385EW14 14 tooth
80142385EW1418 14 and 18 tooth varitooth
82310385EW18 18 tooth

The varitooth was described as a variable number of teeth per inch depending where you start counting, so the 8/12 varitooth would have from 8 to 12 teeth per inch.

Seems like these can be had online for $23 for a 3 pack or locally for $40 from Fastenal. MSC and Graingers can't price quote since i would need an account to special order these.

For cutting blanks, what would you guys use? Thanks
