Can anyone suggest a blade for the band saw that will cut up to 3/8 round stock mostly stainless?

Call these people. They are great. Describe your situation and typical material thickness and they will send you the right blade. You need 3 teeth in the material usually so the thinner the material, the higher the tpi. I can't remember what I got from them (not home to count) but I've been very happy.
PS, they have woodworking blades too.

I use bi-metal blades for steel.

These guys are in my old stomping grounds. I grew up in Sunnyvale, and spent many a day in Saratoga. (And, just over the hill in Santa Cruz.)
Thanks for a blast from the past.
