I'm getting ready to order a 12" Forrest blade for my table saw, and am leaning to the 40 tooth. I figure that the increased circumference will mean about the same number of teeth in the cut as a 10" when ripping. This will be used for 8/4+ hardwoods. Any thoughts?

(I'm going with Forrest as I have a 5/8" arbor - the other vendors charge for boring if not 1" on a 12 inch blade.)

Thanks for your input - Jim
