So after a few blades, I wanted a quality blade, if you have ever compared a carbide tip skill saw blade to a regular blade, this is about the same comparison, this is a carbide tiped band saw blade, Wow is all I can say, here is a short demo.

Wow!

I just replaced my old blade with a Lenox 10/14 TPI 25mil "non carbide" blade and that made a huge difference. It looks like the setting on your beast goes to 11 now.

Forgot to mention this will also cut stainless, nickel, and tool steel. Maybe a little overkill, but hey!
