    Thumbs up Freud Festool Blade

    http://www.routerbitworld.com/Freud-...u86r006m20.htm

    Purchased this blade to use on the smaller Festool track saw, and used it this past week cutting an oak beveled stringer, and assorted other cuts in oak on a staircase job.
    Excellent cut quality (rip and crosscut up to 1"), equal or better than the comparable Festool blade.
    Can't beat the price. Will post back if longevity is an issue, but I've never been disappointed by Freud blades. Only wish I'd thought to look beyond Festool blades sooner.

    Agreed! Those Freud blades are an excellent value for great cut quality. And the Oshluns are also very good for the price, especially if you need a blade for cutting crummy plywood, drywall, etc.

    That RouterBitWorld seems to be the cheapest place to get one of these too. Never heard of them before though.

    I have bought a good bit of shaper tooling from them and all has been well.

    I have used the blade in question and it is just as good as the rest, probably as good as my Forrest 160mm blade but a LOT less money.
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    I buy from them a lot. Good selection, prices, and quick shipping.
    Also answer their phones, and know their products.

    They sell them in Europe, but I haven't seen them imported here. I have used the Amana AGE 210x30 blades you can buy in the US, they also make 260mm blades for the Kapex. Oshlun also makes 210mm blades but I haven't used them.
