I recently purchased a new GRizzly G0555 Bandsaw with the 6" riser block. Just got it assembled the other day (pics of all to follow in another post).
My question is what blades to get? The vast majority of posts that I've looked through recommend the 1/2" woodslicer for resawing, so that's on the list. But what other specific blades would any of you recommend for the bandsaw newbie?
Timberwolf seems to be the other brand that comes up most, but what sizes, configurations for someone with next to zero experience? Honestly I don't really know what I am going to use the saw for most... So I want to have the basic options covered. I obviously can't say money isn't a problem, but at $13-$30 a blade I think I can swing four of them right now... Meaning I want to order them now, before I can't swing them!!!
I recently saw a post on this forum about "woodcraft blades?" Not sure if I'm remembering the name right... Has anyone other than the original poster used them? Opinions?
Any other blades I should look at or consider?

PS. I was told by someone here that if I didn't have pictures then it didn't happen... So here's my saw, I will provide a write up of the assembly soon.
