I'm by no means an expert but it seems to me you need a blade with more
teeth. You didn't say how thin the tubing wall is but IIRC you generally
want about 4 teeth in the metal at one time so a 16tpi blade should be used
on 1/4" metal.

In fact, here's a reference that should help. They say your blade "Should
have at least 3 teeth and less than 12 teeth in the work piece".

That makes it about impossible to cut 1/16" sheet metal with a
bandsaw.

Angle that puppy, boy. g
