That 60 tooth blade you recommended is also great for cutting melamine coated boards, in my experience.
A little while ago, a friend told me to look into a Freud 10" Industrial Thin Kerf Glue Line Ripping Blade. Is it true that the cut is so perfect you can glue up boards without using a jointer? I’ve never seen a blade like this used.
Awesome video, very well explained and not like other youtubers that only recommend to buy more and more. Thanks.
Have not seen a better blade info video. Now all have to do is re-watch several times so I can write down the blade info and make a buy list. Thanks
Great explanation of blades but the jeep shirt sold the vid
What is the best blade for radial arm saw 10 inch 5/8"hole
Thanks for the tip regarding what blade does what, as I recently bought a full table saw I will be definitely getting different blades for different jobs much appreciated keep up the good work. P’s I am a newbie at this. So I’m just starting out. Stay safe. Billy from Scotland. UK.
Im new to this thing called wood well not that wood but wood working and this truly helps me out thanks.
Thank you so much for putting a confusing subject into everyday terms. As a new woodworker, this was extremely helpful!
I’m fixing up my grandpas old Craftsman 103 table saw from the late 40s. It’s an 8 1/4” blade but he built a barn with it so it should work for the stuff I want to do. Thanks!
I greatly appreciate your help. It is rare that I use my saws and your 3 blade advice is helpful. Especially the last one for hardwood.
thanks for the info…will add an ATB-R blade to my arsenal…I didn’t hear you mention a concern regarding thin kerf blades compatability with full kerf riving knives…should a thin kerf blade have its’ own riving knife?
This popped up in my feed and was very useful as a newborn DIY’er. Subscribed 🧰
Finally, an easy to understand and complete explanation. Thanks much 👍
Very informative video, thanks for sharing it. I have have good luck with oth Freud and CMT table saw blades. The Forrest Woodworker II is out of my price range.
Which blade would you recommend for pine for best results in ripping and crosscutting
I’ve been woodworking or 3 years and I found that while the Freud brand is a good reasonably-priced blade, my experience has shown that the quality of my cuts are even better with the Amana brand. Of course, the Amana brand blades that I use are all full kerf blades. I’ve also had great luck with the Diablo Brand thin kerf blades as well. I use a nice thin kerf Diablo on my miter saw and get very low tear-out.
Great video! Just have to say though, I bought Forrest blades when I started woodworking back in the 60’s, and I’m still using those blades today because they can be sharpened 4 or 5 times, and can be re toothed. As much as it hurt when I bought them it was definitely money well spent. Oh, and the jointer edged cut Forrest blades make saves so much time. (time is money)
Excellent video! Fun to watch and super informative.
Great information, Thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
great job of explaining the differences… a timely video for me! Thanks
Whoa, that is a lot of information. Looks like I can refer back as needed
Do you have a video on stapel air guns and nail guns ?
Well stated. The problem with thin-kerf blades is deflection resulting in saw marks. A full-kerf typically will not deflect, especially the higher-end ones. Expensive blades are worth the investment in time and ultimately money as they can be resharpened many times. Cheap blades are throw-away.
Good info. Thanks.
You’re good. And correct. I’ve lusted after a Forrest blade for years but at 4 times the cost?…I don’t think so. I use Freud blades now…the industrial level and they are amazing.
Very informative, great video 🙂
Which of the blades are you using for dado and rabbet cuts where you need a flat bottom? Do you use the FTB rip blade but in a crosscut fashion? Many thanks!
It’s really not difficult. Buy a good rip blade, I use a Freud 24 tooth full kerf, and a crosscut blade, I use a Freud 60 tooth full kerf. 90% of the time I use the rip blade. If I’m cutting plywood or actually cross cutting I use the 60 tooth. I never ise combo, or all purpose blades. Always rip with a rip blade. Your recommendations are really bad. A rip blade is the #1 blade you should buy for a table saw. Most people cross cut on their miter saw and all purpose blades do nothing well and everything slow and halfassed
Thanks for good info.
Best channel for WW beginners. Thank you.
A good, comprehensive guide.
Maybe a lot to take in, but, as with all vids, I tend to write bullet points, in order to get the general gist.
A few replays and I’m clued up.
Thanks for uploading!
I thought I would experiment today with re-uploading an older video that got buried in the Youtube abyss. This is an EXTREMELY useful video that I think a lot of you may have missed. Cheers!
Still learning n I’ve gotta watch again. Thanks
Excelente, simple y didactico …. mis felicitaciones
Very good explanation of saw blades. We’ll done.
Thank you man for this very important beautiful info 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
You are a good help as always 🙏🌹
What do you do for a living ? I am asking because you cover SO much on your channel that you can’t possibly have time to ‘ work .’
Lol –
I truly enjoy all of the content .
Can you give me more information about your mentorship program.
My question for you is what kind a blade that is needed for finish work for a miter saw and table saw
What blade can I buy at home depot or lowes that is close to FTG
Great info! Thanks!
Good one. Comprehensive and quick. I stopped often and took notes. Logical and well put, a competent review and voice that’s easy to understand. All in all …. Well done. Thank you.
Great video. Thank you.
Great info but no amount of knowledge warrants removing guards even for demo purpose. Accidents happen even to experienced people please don’t encourage others to do so the results of this can be life changing
Great video!
Cause i watched your video I went to Amazon and purchased a Freud ATB/R blade. I do a lot of ripping! This saw blade changed my world on table saw use thank you
Thank you for the run down, now I won’t feel so dumb when I purchase a new blade.
As a cabinet maker for 30 years I prefer forest blades but if you don’t use it everyday the ones in this video are great I have used everyone………
Looks like a 2a t-shirt. Fuckin cool
