My mistake, 10-14 is what I meant to say. I've always used 18 TPI on my portaband blades back when I was a pipe fitter/welder so thats what I've always stuck with. After I got this bandsaw I was searching YouTube videos and came across a knife maker with the same model Jet who recommended the...

Yeah I'm gonna order some 14-18 TPI 1/4" and 3/8" M42 blades from LA Cutting Products to try out for metal. I got this saw strictly for metal cutting. I have a 14" Grizzly with a 4 TPI HT and 17" with a 3 TPI HT resaw blade for wood.

Thanks. It's definitely a step up from my old portaband with home made table. I just sold it yesterday for $160 to help recoup a little on the Wilton so I'm only out $240. How are you liking the Grizzly so far?

Thanks for the offer, I might have to take you up on that as well. I have no experience with a forge, that would be interesting.
