WWII!

Yes, 5 degrees negative hook.

Will do.

I've generally seen the Ridge priced cheaper -- maybe I'm looking in the wrong places :)

Dad's got the Ridge equivalent of a WWII on his TS. I have a WWII on mine. I've never done a head to head comparison of the blades one a single saw but my general impression is the that WWII leaves a glassier surface though edges of the Ridge are also glue-ready. The difference could be saw tuning, however.

I got the Dado King for $149.

I'm plenty happy with the bottom of my particular set. The only non-flat part is a tiny "bat wing" in each corner.

Dado set, yes. I got a freaky deal on my DK, but if you shop, you can get 10" Forrest blades for around the same price as Ridge.

WWII's can be had for $80-something bucks.

They moved there about 7-10 years ago. They are/were almost directly across the West beltway from Harwood Products. IIRC they have moved again to

MVP Sharpeners

17535 Huffmeister Rd Cypress, TX (281) 373-0646

Keep in mind that when they moved they were basically out of the tool business except for blades and sharpening.

You probably want a WW "I" for a RAS.

New??? How the heck did you manage that?

Same way with the Ridge set, except the bat wing is even smaller, almost non-existent.

Thank yew, kind sir. Sharpening is all I ever used them for anyway. I recently used Woodcraft to do two sets of joiner knives but, of course I was in the day after pickup which meant a week went by before next pickup and then another week turn-around. Sigh.

In the past, Amazon has had some items get really cheap, for a really short time.

I think two of us on the group picked up $149 Dado Kings.

I see that it says WWI for RAS, but it has a positive hook doesn't it? They could do a little better on their website.

HUH, LOL, I'll give that a try. And I am glad to hear that the wax was not used to cut down on friction. ;~)

You might want to consider Forrest for the resharpening service. My history with MVP has been good. I started buying from them in 1988. The father was still running the company and the son went around selling sharpening services to the locals. I bought my first good blade from them and used them as my sharpening service up until about 2004. I let them give it a try on my Forrest WWII with the guarantee that it would be as good as new. It was not and was far from it. It did cut faster but the cut was rough. 3 weeks later I returned it to Forrest and got it back literally as good as new. MVP does not straighten blades. I don't doubt that MVP can still do a good sharpening job but as time goes by blades do not remain true gor what ever reason. Forrest can reflatten the blade and that had as much to do with a good smooth cut as a sharp blade. If I did not resharpen my jointer and planer knives myself I would let MVP do the work.

Give them a call they are smart people. They will also build you a blade to your specifications if they do not stock what you want.
