I'm cutting some steel pipe in a hard to get to place so my 3" grinder is of limited use. I can get in there with my air saw but I'm going through cheap blades rapidly. Any suggestions on a quality blade that will last longer than a minute?

I've cut regular hacksaw blades down to fit. Generally the tooth area is hard, but the blade back area is flexible and easy to cut. Cheaper than the purpose-made blades. For pipe, speed and tooth count is important, go slow and use a coarse blade.

Some people say that they can break them to fit. Maybe you could cut through the soft part and then snap off the hard part.
