Need a new saw blade

[Phillip Gregory]

May be heresy on this site, but go to Lowes and spend $37.99 on a Marples 50 tooth combination. Try it. Not saying it is a WWII, but for the price you can't beat it.

I have just about the exact saw the OP does and the blade you mention. I wouldn't recommend using any 10" blade you would find at Lowes on a G0690/G0691 cabinet saw as all of the 10" blades at Lowes are thin kerf blades and the riving knife is just a hair too thick to work properly with thin kerf blades. You need a full kerf blade or a thin kerf riving knife. The 50T Marples blade however works very well with a suitable riving knife as it cuts well and leaves a nice finish. Its finish is not quite as nice as the Freud 80T Ultimate Cutoff blade somebody else mentioned and I also have, but it is very good for a "cheap" blade and will do about 90% of what you do with your tablesaw that doesn't require a dado blade. The 80T blade is actually a lot less useful than I had initially figured as it is really only good for crosscutting <6/4 stuff. I'd rather have sunk my money into one of the Premier Fusion combination blades than the 80T Ultimate Cutoff as it would have been much more useful.

I use the the Delta/Dewalt 7657 as my daily driver. Ihave a stack of them because they were so cheap. I also have a WWII and a CMT.I don't notice enough differencebetween them.

I have 2 thin kerf Diablo D1050 X combination blades, they are alright, but they flex a lot, the best combination blade I have ever used is Infinity 010-050(.125" kerf).by far the best cut you could expect from a combination blade under $80.

I have a Ridge Carbide TS2000 on my Sawstop. You can get it from Holbren for about 90 bucks - 10% SMC I think. It's very good an comparable to the Forrest WWII.

I have been using Freud thin kerf combo for many years..they cost under $60.00 and I get very good service from them. They can handle quite a few sharpenings. Good value for the $$$

Tim, since you have a dedicated ripping blade, why not go with a dedicated cross cut blade. I think you would like the Freud LU82M. Currently about $40 at Amazon. I have one and it is a good cutting blade. I get excellent cross cuts in poplar, oak, maple and cherry. You can do some rip cuts in thinner stock if you want, though cutting is slower than you'll get with the glue line rip blade.

The LU72 is a heavy duty full kerf 40T commercial duty blade. The LM72 is the 24T full kerf bulk rip blade.

The 50T ATB/R Infinity Combomax 010-050 is an easy blade to get good results with that runs ~ $70. It's the best of the 50T ATB/R blades I've tried. It'll give many of those $100 blades a run for the money, and is less sensitive about setup and less prone to burning.

The Delta 35-7657 that Bruce mentioned from Cripe Distributing is about the best bang for the buck going in a full kerf combo blade. It's clearance priced, is made in the US, high precision, C4 micrograin carbide and runs ~ $30 shipped.

Are the 10" blades 250mm or 254mm?

In recent comparison teasts done by several magazines, the Forrest blades didn't perform any better than the Freud Premier Fusion. I bought one of those for around $100 and I think I got my money's worth.

[Jim Andrew]

I bought Tenryu blades from Carbide Processors, to fit my Hammer tablesaw, got a rip blade, a 80 tooth solid wood crosscut blade, and a plywood blade. Don't need to use the scoring blade cutting ply, and the solid crosscut blade is the nicest blade I have ever used. Also the rip blade is awesome. Check the price difference with Forrest, think they are every bit as good.

[Justin Ludwig]

I use Freud's combo Diablo on my job site bosch TS. It works great for my application (on job sites). Even crosscutting plies come off with little fuzz.

[BOB OLINGER]

Just bought a Freud 10" combo for my Sawstop last Saturday as I was tired of changing from rip to crosscut on general work. Limited use so far, but so far, very satisfied.

I use Tom's World's Best for the shop. They are worth every penny.

[Tim Compton]

I ordered a Delta 7657. This was not my first choice, but the Infinity Combo max was not in stock. I looked at all the choices and the Infinity was the best fit for me.
