I got one of those cheap-o HF band saws. The horizontal one. I think it is
called a 4". Their $149 special.

I got some 14tpi blades for cutting .065 tubing. Occasionally, I will cut
some stouter stuff, but mainly tubing.

I noticed that this is eating blades a little faster than I think it should.
(I think they should last for 5-7 years.) But, I have been using it quite a
bit, and have gone through two blades already.

I was looking at the directions on the new blade, and noticed that there is
a 10tpi that is recommended for metal cutting. These are the Home Depot
variety blades, I believe Ridgid.

Should I go to a 10tpi, or is this just what they do?
