Try this site.  For answers to some of your questions.  As far as free blades good luck on that one.

What size blade depends on thge thickness of the wood and how intricate the patterns is.
You can find a lot of information on my site.  Selecting a Blade and Q & A.
Have good tension on the blade, the blade should not move sideways more then 1/8". I prefere good speed. If not enough speed a person might have a tendency of pushing too hard into the blade, this will make the blade cut with a bevel, besides you will loose control of the blade. Let the blade do the cutting.
