Bandsaw Troubles

I have THIS bandsaw with a normal wood blade on it. I use this blade to cut aluminum Lexan etc. pretty much everything because the other blades I have trued didn't "bite" enough off of the piece of material to cut at a reasonable speed. The problem I am having is I can't get it to cut straight at all. I usually have to turn the piece I am cutting so the blade is twisted while cutting at about a 30-45 degree angle to cut a straight line.

I don't know if this is normal on a bandsaw this small. This is also one of the reasons I hate using any bandsaw.

Also, does anybody know what kinda of table saw blade one would use to cut Lexan with?
