    DeWalt DW7150PT - $21 shipped from Amazon

    This is a thin kerf 50T ATB/R combo blade. It "appears" to be much like the Freud LU83 and Ridgid 1050. The PT series is a new entry from DW and I haven't tried one from that series yet. It appears to be much like their Series 40 TK series but with a bright yellow coating. Any of the DW blades I've tried from their series 40 and 60 have been stellar, though I don't care for their contractor grade series 20. For $21, it looks like a great opportunity to try one, and it should be a great match with the BTs and other saws < 3hp. You'll need to add a $4 item get free shipping. The entire "PT" series appears to be on sale.

    For you full kerf lovers, the venerable "Forrest slayer", DW7657 is on sale for $40! This one I've tried, and this one hangs with my WWII and TS2000....for half the cost.

    The non coated blades are made in the UK and are excellent. I have read some negative reviews on these yellow blades , made in the USA.
    I have the UK blades, uncoated, and they are excellent.

      I ended up needing a sharp blade before my others are ready(need to be sharpened) and this was looks like just what I needed. I am returning a Hitachi blade I got "just in case". I will save about $10 and get what is probably a better blade.I ordered it last night.Thanks

          The 60T blade is is $23.36 and the 80T blade is only $27.99. Is this a good chance to get a high tooth count blade for a good price?

          Amazon lists all these as circular saw blades. But they should work on the bt3, right?

            Pak, the jury is still out on how good they are, but considering DW's 30 day money back guarantee, the low price, and positive marks for their series 40 and 60 blades, the risk/reward ratio is in your favor IMHO.

            ...and yes, they should work fine on the BT.
