What kind of bandsaw blade (64 1/2 size) is best for cutting ATS-34 and/or titanium?

I cut out several blades blanks this weekend (8 to be exact) and my saw blade is pretty well shot. Am I expecting too much from my saw blades to cut 8 blanks. These are blades that I get from the local hardware store. Usually I just cut one or two blades so I really didn't notice how fast the blade wears out, but this time - wow.

Should I be looking for something special in my blades, bi metals or ?

Where to get blades from?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

bimetal is the answer, Tony.

MY 64 1/2" Bi Metal blades come from Texas Knifemaker Supply(Lennox Brand).
There are links to it everywhere.
Try CKD of my web page for contact info.

There's some things I've just given up on as far as the bandsaw goes... unless I want to spend a lot of time waiting for things to anneal fully. Even my normalized damascus billets go through the bimetal blades, and forget the 1095 from Admiral. The real pain in the *ss about that is I can't anneal it or I'll have to spend even more time cleaning it... I just chisel and bend it in a vise until it snaps. I now hot chisel billets rather than go through so many blades.

Bandsaw's great for any unhardened mild steel though...
