Portable bandsaw blades

[leadpig]

Finally bit the bullet and bought a makita portable bandsaw 835x13mm
What blades are best for mild steel
And how many tpi, 10/14?
up to 8mm flat stock and any recommendations on where to buy

I use Tuuff Saw blades, He's based in S wales...he's got a good web site explaining all grades...
I use 10-14 tooth variable blade but I only buy cobalt blades now....cost a fraction more but last so much longer...
I think in some places the cobalt blade is called M42...
