Thanks to all who responded to my query. It sounds like I will just have to have a sharpening service custom grind one for me. I have a couple of responses to some of you.
- A couple suggested using the outside blade of a dado set. I have an SD208 and the outside blades are not flat. They are all bevelled downwards from the outside edge towards the center.
- A couple suggested the triple chip grind. AKA TCG which I have. It is actually that grind that prompted me to ask the question. I had cut some mortices with my new Delta morticer (the little cheap one that I got for at a Lowes). I cut the tenons on my table saw and when I was fitting the tenons into the mortices, they didn't quite seat all the way. It was just a hair off (red, not blond), but enough. When I examined the tenons, I noticed that there were very slight ridges along the sides of the tenon where the TCG blade did not clean the cut. It was easy enough to clean up with a chisel, but still . . . Now cross-cuts where I am cutting off the piece, TCG is great.
Just as a side note, I have read a couple of articles on the Internet that says the TCG was initially designed for cutting plastics like plexiglas and lexan, etc.
- Have someone like Forrest custom grind a new blade? That would be GREAT, but not on my current budget.
- CMT Cabinetshop blade. Hmmmmm. That sounds interesting.
