I saw another persons post and got me thinking. I only have 10" blades for my miter, table, and radial arm saw. They are all 10" saws. A couple months ago Amazon had a good sale on Forrest blades. Several of them were little bit more than half off. A few of the best deals were smaller than 10" though. One was a 9" blade that was well below half off. I had in my mind set I should just get 10" blades. Same goes for Freud blades that they have been having discounts on.
Anyway I have limited myself to just 10" blades. And I am now thinking that train of thought is not quite right. As 95% of my cutting on the table and radial arm saw is way below full cuts. I think the miter does need to stay at 10" as it would limit the length of cut with a smaller blade (slide saw). I could have purchased some really good 9" blades at a fairly big discount and passed on them.
Do you use only maximum blade size in your saws?
