Hello All,

Our woodturning group has a new shop and I took a class there last night, very nice setup and alot of fun.


I Used the chop saw to trim down a piece before taking it to the band saw.

The saw struggled mightily.

It was a very basic 12" saw and had the orig blade.

I was going to pick up a new blade for the shop and was curious on what blade you guys use for a chopsaw.

The needs of a woodturning shop are a bit different then a cabinet shop, but I am not sure what to pick up

  • Thick wood
  • Wet wood
  • Dry wood
  • Basic saw , nothing fancy or top end
  • Note: target use is rough cutoff of blanks, not segmented work


Thanks,
Michael
