    Default Advice on Band Saw Blades for G10

    I have a craftsman 10" band saw and was curious about what blades are recommended for cutting G10 and acrylic material. I read on a previous post months back that you need special blades to cut G10 and I don't want to ruin my current blade that seems to be working great for wood.
    All advice appreciated.

    Default Carbide tipped

    I remember Simmons making a carbide tipped blade but it will be expensive.Nothing in the high speed (cobalt,bi-metal) holds up real well against G-10,if you try it run it slow,but it will wear,take the sharpness away,ruin the set,then deflect,and bind.Acrylic is usually no problem,a little blade lube now and again to prevent binding
