I have a 10" CMT thin combo blade on my 1 hp saw that I use for everything. It's served me well for about 10 years but lately I've been ripping 1-1/2" maple and I'm getting saw marks and burning. I think the tooth configuration is 4+1.
A lot of people recommend the Diablo 50T combo, yet I notice they are just ATB. Can a blade like that actually rip hardwood?
I'm torn between getting a different combo blade vs a dedicated rip blade. I know if I have to change blades between operations it'll get old quickly.
