They didn't have any of the proper blades when I tried last year.
Specifically you need 1/8" 6 or 7tpi blade stock - which is no longer made. You need to find someone who still has it and will make blades to fit your bandsaw.
Alternatively, you might try their 3/16" 4TPI blades. Not sure you could cut much past 20" pitch though - that angle is steep and with 1/8" it already rubs even after hand setting the kerf as wide as I dare.
I just ordered six more blades - I'm hoping they have enough stock to fill my order.
I will say though that Highland's Wood Slicer blades are pretty awesome - I rip a lot of spruce stock with their 1/2" blade for r/c gliders.
Regards.
