Review on 🔪 High-Performance Freud 10" x 40T Blade for Precision Crosscuts & Rips on Various Wood Surfaces (P410) by Mike Wheeler

There seems to be a lot of blade snobs out there. Of course, if you're a pro who has to process tons of hardwood 5-7 days a week, spend $150 on a Forrest or Ridge Carbide. For just about everyone else it will rip and cut all your softwood, plywood, MDF, 2x4 etc. It's well made, thick steel, large teeth, fully sharpened, probably the same as higher quality blades. I get no tearing and am ready to glue thin Baltic birch plywood and all my cross sections with only 1.75hp. Engine. 2x4 copying is fine most of the time too, and it's all you could ask for in a general-purpose blade anyway. You can get one of these and a special tear blade together for less than Forrest. you do the math Again, unless you're a pro or a high-end hobbyist, this will do pretty much anything you want it to do.
