Band saw blade thickness?

[Gsulfridge]

I am thinking of attempting to make some points from bandsaw blades.  I have studied this to some extent, and have learned about 3-to-1 ratio, beveling, and such, but do not know the desirable thickness.  I have three old blades that are .035" thick and they seem a tad thin.  I will try them regardless, but was wanting a more educated opinion. 
Thanks

How sturdy are they?  I think the ones I use are around that thickness but they are very hard and make a fine point.

Outlaw, I havent cut any down yet, but may tonite.  They are 1" wide (after tooth removal) and are metal cutting blades from a welding shop.

I think my blades are all tool steel and about the same dimensions as yours.  Does your blade have carbide teeth on it or are the teeth the same material as the rest of the blade?

Here are my blades and points.

Outlaw, what did you use to cut those out?

angle grinder with a cut off wheel.  Then cleaned them up on a bench grinder.

The steel I use in .050 thick, you can always put them a little deeper in the shaft and that will stiffen them up a bit.
