The Milwaukee 44 7/8" blades all work well for me, so I'll lump the reviews for the 10/14tpi, 18tpi and 24tpi together. These are the blades that I use

The 10/14 blades are my go-to blades for general garage work. Milwaukee recommends them for 3/16-1/2" stock, and my experience confirms the suitability. I cut considerable cold-rolled stock and soft steel up to 3/8" routinely and without effort. The 10/14 is the general-purpose blade of choice in my applications. I use it 90% of the time.

The 18tpi is recommended for 5/32-3/16". it works well also, but I haven't found it all that useful. In most cases, i'll try to make do with the 10/14.

I find the 24tpi comes in handy for the smaller steel, and softer metals like copper, aluminum, etc.. It doesn't take as big of bite as the 10/14, so there's less risk of damaging the material.

The tooth pattern and metallurgy of the bi-metal material that Milwaukee puts in these blades seem ideal for general purpose metal cutting. Recommended.

I replaced an original equipment saw blade on my portable bandsaw with the Milwaukee bi-metal 24 tpi blade I'm using it to cut a lot of mild steel. The blade cuts the steel like butter and does not wander off the line. Note that the user should be familiar with the correct way to cut various metal shapes for the blade to work as designed. Structural shapes such as square tubing and angle pieces need to be cut at the correct angle to keep the teeth in contact with the thinner portion of the cut. When cutting a piece of 2” angle w/ 1/8” wall, match the tooth pattern to the 1/8” thickness (3 teeth in the cut at a time) and not to the flat wall 2” thickness. The 2” angle should be placed in the holding device so it sits as a pyramid instead of an “L". Do this and the blade will do its job.

These blades are invaluable and well worth the investment. If you need a portable band saw the Milwaukee brand are great and their warranty matches any other product out there. Their blades stand up to a lot of cutting. I'd recommend ordering several tooth patterns and several packs because they do wear out and it's important to have some spares and different blades for different tasks.
