I plan to cut 1-1/4" hard maple with a jig saw mainly because I don't own a bandsaw. Most of the work is with the grain. Can anybody with experience recommend a good ripping blade for a jigsaw? FWIW, I own a Dewalt DW331K. A few preliminary cuts indicate this won't be as painful as I originally thought but it might be a breeze with the right blade.
Any thoughts?
