woodmaster CT is what I use- I think 165"- 1 think 1.125 wide and 1.25 teeth per inch. I can check. -I just bought 2 of them- $160+- each. Mine cuts nothing but exotics, clean wood. Lasts a couple years with lots of coco and harder woods. cuts straight. when it stops cutting straight- time for new or sharpen. They are sharpenable. But I have not found where to get sharpened.

or you can try wood slicer- Manf.? it leaves a very clean edge- 1/3rd the price. do NOT touch green wood with it. early on, I bought 2. they cut nice, well until I cut some green olive. It was toast after 2 cuts. Figured I ran into something. Nope- 2 cuts on other one, it was toast. Then I decided maybe, just maybe I should try reading a bit- damitka- that was a fast franklin... Supercut makes a carbide impregnated resaw blade- again great on dry clean domestic hardwood. no on really hard stuff- hard to cut straight and green is worse.
Laguna resaw king. my size was almost $200. brand new first cut-coco- would not cut straight. Tried new softer wood- walnut. worked great. Called them- they told me it was the saw. put on woodmaster CT- that was 3-4 years ago. just replaced that blade. why- it started not cutting straight if I did not really reduce feed rate.
That all said- I would not buy a laguna anything- customer service is king to me. They have none. But your saw has the best brake by far of any saw. stops fast if you stand on it... and cuts great.

Too bad woodmaster ct doesn't have a 3/4" blade. I'd try them. I need a GOOD carbide blade

More of industrial strength blade. Tri-master works well. More money. Do not know sizes on it.
Carbide is great on clean wood. A rock kills it just as fast as a good carbon steel blade.
