Band saw parts

Hello all,

Our club sponsor recently acquired a Powermatic 143 band saw for us. His hopes were that we would be able to cut 1/8 aluminum sheets with it. However, the bandsaw did not come with a blade. While this particular model is no longer supported by Powermatic, there are blades that can be bought and used for it. However, I have absolutely no idea what I am looking for.

My questions are what qualities and specifications should I be looking for in a metal-cutting blade, what part would you suggest, and what suppliers and products should I avoid?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel D.
