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.
The OP said bandsaw and 1" mild steel.

Use a 6/10 or 8/12 blade.

I use a 6/10 balde permanently on my import 5x6 bandsaw. For material less
than 5/8" in diameter, I use a hacksaw.


I got the Lennox Powermatrix II 10-14 TPI blade. When it gets here,
we'll see the results.
