Hi,

    Tooth count on blades used for this type of saw are related to blade
    thickness. Generally the higher the tooth count, the thinner the
    blade. Many times, blade thickness will effect blade life. Thinner
    blades are more fragile. 

    The blade that came on the saw I have has aprox 100 teeth (if I
    counted right) & is .035" thick. 

    If you go to an industrial supplier & ask for 'Jeweler's Slotting
    Saws' you may be able to find the blade you're looking for. MSC
    (mscdirect.com) has about 15 blades of various thickness with from
    190 to 110 teeth. The item # for a blade.008" thick with 190 teeth
    is 03293586.
