I looked for some TPI suggestions for band saw blades and didn't find anything here. I saw several n00b questions about band saws as well. I had a couple myself and so I did some google and I found this very short, concise, bit of info.
On top of that, I just found out I would have been improperly cutting every single piece of metal I was going to cut! For instance angle iron should be cut from the outside 90 degree corner straight in and flat stock should be cut the long way, not the short, flat way. Never woulda thought!

Great info. Thanks for posting. Somehow the first URL dropped the last "l". Here's the correct URL.entity-unknown wrote:I looked for some TPI suggestions for band saw blades and didn't find anything here. I saw several n00b questions about band saws as well.

Strange... I've got the page open and it is htm but I click your html link and it works just fine too.
Glad it's helpful, I know I needed it.
