Have a Skillsaw hd77 and now I'd like to try cutting mild steel with it. Anybody know of a supplier of Tenryu steel pro blades in Seattle area? Tooltown dosen't carry them.

Yes Tooltown does, just not all the Tooltown stores.
I bought one at the Tooltown in Midway across the street from the flea market.
I bought my first one at Eastside Saw in Bellevue.
After an amazing number of cuts through 1/2" and 5/8" plate steel I finally managed to dull one.
I am going to go buy a new one tomorrow.
BTW Tooltown in Midway also had the Morse Metal Devil and Matsushita blades.
Tenryu Steelpro $55 Morse Metal Devil $50 Matsushita $45
Morse says their's lasts the longest. I might buy one to compare
I believe Hardwicks Hardware in the U-district also carries them.
Yes, Tenryu says that Hardwick & Sons carrys them. ph (206) 632-1203
Called Hardwicks Hardware and he couldn't find any metal cutting blades, however, Eastside Saw had them.
Thanks!!!
Has anyone had any experience cutting ss plate with these blades? Thanks in advance
They have a different series of blades for stainless and I don't know if they have them in the 7 1/4 inch size. Their website is going through construction so give them a call.

They will cut stainless, but will last about 25% as long.
These dry-cut blades for Skil saws are counted as disposable, since sharpening them costs about half of the cost of a new one.
So if you want to cut stainless plate just factor in the cost of a few $50 blades.
