From a minimalist point of view, referring to my lack of motorized tools - no table saw or chop saw, only two saws I use with electricity are my bandsaw and my circular saw, both only for roughing out components.
The circular saw, a DeWalt, use the blade that came with it.
The bandsaw, different story. I wanted the bandsaw for mainly one function, resawing. Still use it for rips and crosscut, but the only blade I use in this machine is the Highland Woodworking Wood Slicer Resaw Blade. Never change it out until it becomes really dull, which isn't very often due to my hobby woodworking versus production shop.
The Wood Slicer can be purchased at any custom length, my saw uses a 92" blade, because it's a 12" Hitachi saw with a 6" riser block adapted from a Shop Fox part. Cost to me, in the $30 to $35 range.
Won't bother to try any others.
