Hi Rob, I use Dialaser blades by Lapcraft. I've had very good luck with them. Very thin and they hold up well. Lapcraft also makes some other sintered blades that I've been meaning to try out, but haven't had a chance yet.
http://www.lapcraft.com/lcat13.htm Let us know what you go with and how well it works. My current blade is about half-way worn out, so I'm going to be in the market for a new one before too long. I've been wanting to try a sintered blade.
