Ripper 37. Not the cheapest, but in my experience the best ones around. But I'm sure there will be lots of opinions on here.

I use the Ripper 37 blades as well - good customer service.

 

 

Never go for the cheapest anything! Just IMO that is...

Have a look at tuffsaws .co.uk very good blades and very helpful people. A call to them will have you sorted sharpish!

there are a multitude of blade suppliers out there, unfourtunatley no one blade will do everything, width, thickness, tooth count and rake, all effect the cutting characteristics, determine what your main timber type will be and find what suits that, then keep a few different ones for the odd ball timbers that will pop up. you can expect to pay anything from a tenner to 30 plus for blades, and no gaurentee on any of them working any better than any other

Seconded, Ian's sabrecut green wood blades are great, my 18" workshop bandsaw has one permanently for resawing. Axminster sell the ripper blades st what seems like a decent price, cant say that I've tried one but they look good, theyd be widet, more aggressive and thicker than the tuff saws blades though.

 

Also worth looking at his m42 1" x 2tpi blades, not as course as the 1.1tpi ripper, but should give you 5-10x the life, and the odd nail wont worry it too much.

 

Cheers, Tom.
