TS blade teeth

Maybe if you were only crosscutting all the time, the 60-80 toothed blades would be allright, but I do a little ripping on my tablesaw. Get a much better quality rip with fewer teeth. What type of tooth pattern do your new blades have? Tom

They don't all supply lousy blades. My Unisaw came with a blade that does a credible job (except for melamine, of course). My new Makita slider came with the best blade of any product I've ever purchased. It leaves cuts that look like they were planed smooth.

All 40 tooth blades are not created equally. A mid quality blade will cost about $50, the best quality about $100. Do you think most saw manufacturers are going to include one of those or the cheapest blade they can get? You'll be amazed at the difference it makes, both in quality of cut and noise level.

In an emergency, I had to remove the blade from my Makita MS and use it in a table saw to rip some softwood. It did the job brilliantly, no planing was neccesary before gluing. I've cancelled the order for the TS blade and I'm looking for a Makita blade to dedicate to the TS.
