I need to replace my old table saw blade, and so had a look at the ones offered at my local Home Depot. I do a light to moderate amount of cutting, and tend to be a bit lazy and just leave my 80 or so tooth carbide tipped crosscutting blade on the saw for most of my work, and this is the type of blade I will replace. At the store, I was surprised to see such blades offered for $50: a DeWalt and another I didn't recognize, made by Freud.
My questions are these (and thanks in advance for any comments):
I remember paying upwards of $90 bucks for a blade of this type ten years ago. Why are these new ones cheaper and/or are they as well made as my old one?
How good a blade is the Freud? As good as the DeWalt?
