A band saw does work well but yes, it will destroy your blade. Actually, it'll grind the teeth completely off the blade. I've heard of using carbide tipped blades but they're expensive. I had some old blades and I'd use them until the teeth were gone.

That what I thought, better get another blade for my saw then. I treat the dust same as sanding a Corvette, very carefully.
