I picked up a few new blades for a small floor standing 14" bandsaw (something like a 93-96" blade) in different widths. I bought the thinnest blade with the highest number of fine teeth for cutting lip slots. And while it works, IMO it is still too thick. The lip fits a little loose. (but becomes snug when you wire the plug)

While in sears the other day I happen to pass thru the tool section and they had a cheap ($100) small benchtop band saw and that blade looked much thinner than what I had on my 14".

Question. Can you get ultra thin blades for the 14" saw or is it worth buying a tiny little benchtop bandsaw just for this job?
