Ferrous metal cutting blade for Rockwell 14" bandsaw

[PCFree50]

I have a Rockwell 14" metal/wood bandsaw and I am looking for suggestions for a good 93"x 1/2" 14 TPI Blade for cutting mild steel. There are so many options out there and most say "soft metal" while others say nothing. HELP!?!

I run Lenox bimetal blades on my vertical and horizontal bandsaws.
They work great for ferrous and nonferrous metals.

Look for a 10-14T bi-metal, preferably cobalt.

I just purchased several M42 (cobalt) blades from this company:
Multicut M-42 (bandsawbladewarehouse.com)
Their prices are pretty reasonable, they make them to your specification and the quality seems to be good.

I use Morse bi-metal, I lucked out my 14” Rockwell/Delta metal bandsaw uses the same blade as my Wilton/Jet 7” x 12” drop bandsaw

93-1/2” x 3/4” .035”

Starrett blade stock is good, and not as expensive as other things that have their name on it. I bought my last batch on eBay, cut and welded to length.

I have been using the Lenox bi-metal with a 10-14 variable pitch, has been my metal bandsaw for years and has done well in a wide range of materials. It is getting time to replace it, another person with an Ellis metal bandsaw recommended Bahco blades. Will probably give it a try, the variable 10-14 pitch and various tooth profiles are good all around blades for both small and large stock, rule of thumb is you want a minimum of at least 3-4 teeth cutting at any time.
