14tpi for thick material and up to 24 tpi for thin material or a medium of 18tpi general use .there will be a chart giving precise blades for each thickness someone may have on here rule of thumb is 3 teeth in contact with metal at any time

Get some vari-pitch blades, last far longer and cut faster than standard pitch blades

Speak to these guys.
Tell them what you need to cut and they'll sort you out with an appropriate blade.
