    I use Tenryu Mel Pro 100T or a Leitz 80T and Forrest HI ATB. I cut mostly Okume lumbercore Plywd with wht. laminate on both sides and 13 ply maple. When ripping hardwoods I use a Tenryu 24 T rapid cut or a Frued combination. I change blades often depending on the material i'm cutting.

      I've Forrest Woodworker II. I did a major project ripping & cutting cheery (finished) panels. Couldn't have bought a better blade.

      Couple of days ago I removed it from the saw and cleaned it using Toolsaver
      system (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=11497) to restore to its
      original look. I had great results. Should have cleaned it bit sooner.

          There's a Delta on the new saw. Hopefully the tool gloat and pic will make it up today.

            Without a pic, it's an "alleged" tool gloat!

              Just bought mine from CL and cracked it open to blow it out...the blade is literally unmarked except for an engraved KBL 40T...engraved by hand I believe.

              lol...odd...so I choose other. :P Have a disposable Oldham 60T finishing blade ready to cut a bunch of laminate flooring. I don't expect the blade to survive long after the job.

                  If your experience with the 60T Oldham is anything like mine, you'll be hoping the flooring puts an end to it!

                  As an update to the original question....this morning there's a Tenryu blade sitting my saw.

                    Some one dug this up so Ill comment, I have quite a few freud blades from when we discontinued them at work.

                    I haven't used my saw for a few months till Sunday and I had to trim a miniblind to install and I noticed I had a Dewalt 8-1/4" treated lumber blade from my circular saw in there

                    I guess its still in there from when I did my shed last fall, but it did its job
                    Of course Lumber is expensive,what do you think, it grows on trees

                      Forrest WWII 30T TK, but I'll be switching over to the Forrest Duraline Hi-A/T soon, when I start cutting the ply for my cabinets.

                          I put DeWalt since that is what is in my BT3100 and I figured that was most applicable. Maybe I should vote two more times, once for the Freud in my radial arm saw and once for the Hitachi in my CMS.

                            Forrest WWII 30T TK in my 3660.

                            Absolutely superb blade for ripping and crosscutting hardwoods cleanly and effortlessly.

                                Currently i have the forrest wwII 30 tooth in the bt used it to rip down some 8/4 walnut and it cuts like butter.

                                usually i have a freud diablo 24 or 40 tooth 7 1/4 circular saw blade in it because its great for ripping small stock and dirt cheap
