    Thanks everyone for your recommendations. It seems that many of you have had good experience with the Forrest Chopmaster.

    I appreciate you sharing your experience and suggestions.

    Another vote for the Chopmaster, and a negative for thin kerf. I found that a Freud thin kerf was cutting a nice arc on some hardwoods even on a 90deg cut.

    Wait a minute.... didn't you say this was NEW? What blade came with it? Did you wear it out already?
    (I bought the Bosch 10" laser slider during the last Wood show and the blade that came with it is excellent so far for what I've been cutting.)

    Ted, the Bosch 4212 comes from the factory with a 40 tooth blade (didn't check who made it). For fine cross cuts, I think a blade with more teeth will produce a better cut - that's why I was asking.

    I may not buy a new blade immediately but I want to know which one to pounce on when it goes on sale - or when Amazon offers some discount.
