I'll do that.. I had no idea that they were so inexpensive!
The night that I bought the saw, 1/2" was the meanest blade that they
had... (all they had in my size were Ridgid brand)

I'll find a couple of 3/4" blades in a better quality this week...
thanks again, Leo!

The shop that sharpens blades for 'the trade' in your area can probably
make up bandsaw blades for you, quickly, economically, and pretty much to
your requirements.

Check to see if your saw will track or tension a 3/4" blade. Wider isn't
always better.
