i use 2 different blades. One for resawing a 1/2" 3tpi and than a 1/4" 4tpi and that is all that i use. Now for blade drift you need to set the fence up for that. If you don't know how to do that come back and i know i or some one else will tell you how . I buy my blades from here Suppercutbandsaw cut. You call then and tell what you are going to do and they will get the blade for you . Here is the link
