    Certainly not cheap, but I use a Forrest Chopmaster. Baby butt smooth cuts in everything I can feed through it and it has stayed sharp for the better part of year now.

    Stay tuned; you'll get a lot of opinions here.

    I've got a 10" slider and have been impressed with my Oshlun for $29.95. Nice smooth cuts.

    I use http://www.ridgecarbidetool.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_33&products_id=42&osCsid =ae23bcd5203b70c5ce8993157e4aad39
    A bit costly, but it's the money well spent. For a few more bucks you can upgrade now to http://www.ridgecarbidetool.com/prod...8993157e4aad39
    You can get a better deal at the show when it's held near you http://cms.thewoodworkingshows.com/cms/
    I also use these and other saws from them in table saw.

    Ditto. In fact, that (12" 80t) was the only Forrest blade I owned that did not have a partner for use while the other was being sharpened, and I just scored a nice deal in the Classifieds seciton. So I have two of everything, except dado set.

    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Price isn't bad

    I don't have the blade, but if I was looking I'd call this moderatly priced. It should be a pretty good blade. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?p...ckler%20Outlet

    Certainly not moderately priced, but +1 for the Forest Chopmaster Signature.

    I like this one also or the even better LU85 from their Industrial line.

    It is hard to beat a Chopmaster, although I prefer the Freud combo and rip blades this is a Forrest I love.

    While I have the LU85 (my CMS), I don't believe it is recommended for a SCMS, as the original poster is asking about.
