Freud vs. The Gold Standard

This saw blade among other Frued blades has a quality that seems unsurpassed among others. Most people compare it to the "gold standard" Forrest blade. In my personal opinion, having used both for over 10 years, Frued seems to come out on top every time in terms of cut quality, but remember I'm judging this based on the manufacturers' intent for each blade. built for. Frued makes it clear and tells you what type of wood, type of cut, depth of cut and even the ideal HP saw. Following these guidelines, I find that Freud has no equal. Glue the finished glass cutouts. Not only that, they even seem to operate quieter than others compared to others, and that's a plus too. Forrest Blades - twice the price, but is it worth it? My experience is that the blades are indeed of amazing quality but lack an almost descriptive range of what they are intended for. They tell you what kind of cut and they also explain that the blade has to be HIGH for perfect cuts. They even come with a full step-by-step guide on how to repair cracks and friction burns. What they don't say is "designed for x-wood from x-height to x-height and x-height saws" etc. I really find I get an amazing cut quality overall and the carbide teeth are a better durable quality than those by Freud. Offer. I never had a tooth in WW2 Forrest, but in Freud I had it a couple of times. On top of that, Forrest will be sharpening and repairing/balancing blades his entire life, which is saying a lot! In general; Freud seems to have prevailed when he used the exact purpose of the blade as described. They won't stand by their blades, sharpen them or repair them, but they are amazing quality for the price! Forrest also offers amazing cuts, blades that will last a lifetime and have been proven over multiple decades. Both are good choices, but Freud has the same, if not better, cuts for half the price and a shorter lifespan.
