Best Table Saw Blades for Versatile Use?

0
Asked By CraftyCactus92 On

I'm in the market for a high-quality, general-purpose table saw blade that can stay sharp and true while easily cutting through various types of wood. My table saw is a 3hp SawStop, and I'm a bit lazy when it comes to swapping blades often. Recommendations on great blades that won't break the bank, but also provide excellent performance, would be hugely appreciated!

If you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, I recommend the CMT or Diablo blades. They’re solid options for everyday use, but if you're ready to invest, the Forrest blades really shine. Just keep in mind that cleaning your blade often can really enhance its performance.

I've stuck with Diablo for a while, and honestly, for the price, it's hard to beat. But I get the appeal of going for something more expensive if you can!

Definitely! I’ve heard good things about them too, especially for those who don’t want to break the bank yet still want quality.

I also recommend having a dedicated rip blade if you're working with hardwoods. A good 40 tooth combo blade is versatile, but a specific rip blade really improves your cuts. I run Woodpeckers Ultra Shear on mine without any complaints.

That's smart! Swapping blades for specific tasks isn't as hard as it seems, and it really does make a difference.

Great advice! MDF can definitely dull a blade quickly, so it's wise to have a separate one for that.

I've been using the Forrest Woodworker II and I absolutely love it! It's worth the investment for sure. Trust me, once you try it, you won't want to go back to other blades. Plus, it lasts a long time without needing to change it out often.

Same here! I got mine about 15 years ago with my Grizzly saw, and it's still going strong. Totally worth it!

I had a similar experience and was hesitant at first, but the quality is just unmatched.
