I know, or strongly assume, several of you are using very high end blades (cf., Forrest Woodworker II).
I wonder if you would mind doing a little blade comparison/test for me? The reason I am asking you to do it rather than doing it myself is, its a lot cheaper for you to spend 19.95 +tax than it is for me to plunk down 110.95
+tax.Harbor Freight has a blade I have been using for a long time and with very good results. Crosscuts are usually, depending on the wood, extremely smooth, the carbide last a long time and the rip cuts are a bit rougher than the crosscuts but still acceptable. At least compared to other blades (none high end) I have used.
Being a HF blade, I know I will never see it in a comparison test and was wondering just how it compared.
The blade is this one.
