It's been so long snce I put a new blade on my home bandsaw, I don't
remember if it's for cutting metal or wood. I should have put a label
on the saw, but didn't (because I used to remember such things.)

Now I have some steel to cut, and I need to know! How can I tell a
wood-cutting bandsaw blade from a metal cutting one?

Metal blades have small teeth and lots of them. Wood cutting has larger
teeth and less of them. If you count the teeth per inch you can figure it
out. Wood will be about 6, metal about 14.
