Any favorites?
That import stuff is the next thing to banding iron. Get a good Lenox
bimetal blade. 14 TPI should work, you might be able to go coarser
and/or get some of the fancier tooth forms if this is a production
thing and cutting speed is an item of interest. I keep 14, 18 and 24
TPI blades on hand, one pitch just doesn't do it all. Cutting wax
stick helps with some of the tougher stuff.
