Ripping blade

I don't have a bandsaw and will have to rip strips on my tablesaw. At over $4.00 a boardfoot I want to minimize the wood I turn to dust. My only ripping blade takes a giant kerf - I suppose I could reset the teeth. My combination blade has 40 teeth; it rips oak slowly but will go through cedar fine. Obviously, it isn't meant to do all that ripping though. Does anyone have a recommendation for a fine-kerf rip blade?
