I have borrowed a co-worker's skill saw to use to make a little wooden stand for a computer monitor over the weekend. The saw has a rather rough blade that leaves the wood rather abused. I intend to make the stand out of 1" thick sheet of pine and wondered what kind of blade to buy (Home Depot probably) in order to not tear up the wood while cutting. Is there a standard scale of blade harshenss or some such? Thanks.
