I just saw a sale flyer for my local Harbor Freight and this saw will be on sale for $89.99 March13-15, Going to pick one up. What blade do you recommend for metal cutting? I'd like to buy a quality blade ahead of time so it will be ready to go.

The blades are 44 7/8" by 1/2".  Available from Amazon among others.  I've been using a Dewalt 18 tpi for thicker stock and a 24 tpi for thin sheet, but honestly the 18 tpi seems to cut the thin sheet steel just fine also.

I keep a couple 18s and 24s on hand.  I have a Milwaukee which does a great job. Over the Years I have gone thru several tires and a  lot of blades. I get Milwaukee blades at Hone Depot.

I mounted it a bit differently as I found I liked pulling the material toward me a bit better.  Works great.
