Would you knowingly mill a log with metal in it with the carbide blades? Is it worth it? 
No.  I would absolutely not. 
Much better to trash conventional, low cost bands, then resharpen and reset the teeth that are left, and reuse them.   
YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Be smarter than the sawdust

I just received a response from Woodmizer regarding carbide blade availability. We ordered one on March 30 to try for slab flattening and just received this, "We are currently out of materials to make carbide blades. The vendor we use has been back ordering our shipments from New York. There is no definite time for completion of the order, although blade production projects late October 2021". 

Just an FYI for anyone thinking about ordering carbide.

Not that I'm aware of. Sound like the supplier out of New York distributes the carbide product all over.

I used my new .55 1.5" 7/39 turbo on this large EWP slab last week. It is 5" thick. I KD for the customer long with a few other logs and slabs. I have been involved with this tree for 1.5 years now. He kept me in buisness my 1st year running the kiln. 
 1st had to cut the slab  down to 33" and then I split it at 2.5", so 2 3/8'

 

 

 when finnished. I then wrapped it and took to the Furniture table builder.

WM just email me my bill on the blade, hope they are sending it on now.

We received our blade last week. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, looking forward to it. Looks interesting
