if you are interested in this for a clean cutting crosscut blade take a close look at the Freud Avanti TK806 80 tooth thin kerf, 10° hook angle, 10" crosscut blade on clearance at Rockler for $29.99 - Rockler has had free shipping the last 5 or 6 weeks with a weekly code.

I don't know about the Delta blade but the Freud is reasonably well regarded and has a few more teeth; all other things being equal it should give a smoother cut. and will maybe save you shipping. free shipping code changes every week, use V0749, try V0750, V0751 etc. if that doesn't work.

I have had one on my CMS for a few years and its nice, I recently bought another on this deal from Rockler - i think its about a wash price-wise with sharpenening the old one.

Thanks Loring. I'll buy one more, and put the lesser one in my chop saw.

I like Loring's suggestion, depending on your application. A couple of things to consider...the 35-7646 is a full kerf blade (0.118" IIRC), whereas the TK806 is thin kerf. I've used the former version of the 7646 when it carried a DeWalt DW7646 series 60 moniker. It's a well made blade and performs well if a full kerf 60T blade with a 10° hook suits the need. It labored my tablesaw a bit if I ripped anything over 1", but it crosscut well and should be fine for a CMS, but not a great choice for a SCMS or RAS.

Also, there are two versions of the TK806...one is an ATB (bordering a Hi-ATB), and the other is a triple chip (TCG) known as the TK806"L". The ATB is the cleaner cutting of the two, but the TCG is the more durable.

I have that Freud blade and it is a very good one.

the rockler closeout is apparently the ATB version. Rockler says ATB, the blade actually says HiATB. The hook angle measures at 10 degrees.

I ordered the Delta 35-7670 blade for a total of $35.99. They, ToolKing, sent me the Delta 8'' Stacked Dado Set 35-7670 and charged me a total of $55.99. Now what do I do?

well a quick search of the web shows the Delta 35-7646 is the 60T 10" blade
and the 35-7670 is the 8" Dado

1. if you ordered a 7670 then that's what you got.
2. if you ordered a 7646 then they sent you the wrong item.
3. If their ad called the 7646 a 7670 then they made a mistake, too if you ordered a 7670 thinking it was a 7646.

The best thing to do is call them and explain what you wanted and what you got and see what they'll do. If its 2 or 3 then they should prepay the return shipping and send you the blade you want at their cost and refund the difference.

if its 1 and you intended to order a 7646 but accidentally ordered a 7670 then you can throw yourself on their mercy and see if they'll trade...and refund the difference, but you may have to eat the return shipping cost.

I think those are the fair outcomes for the 3 scenarios i listed.

Whoop, whoop! I ordered the Freud cross cut thin kerf blade. Thanks for the link!

According to another forum, it sounds like multiple people received the dado set instead. Either they misposted what was for sale, or someone in shipping really screwed up.

[hophop]

I mistyped it in my earlier post.
It was #2 with a slight variation..

I ordered the blade with the correct part number, 35-7646, as the first post indicated, but they sent me the Dado set instead. Since I also ordered the Freud blade from Loring's link afterward, I don't need their blade. Now, the dado set costs me a little more ($16). Amazon and other places sell it for a little over $150. I normally would not pay that much for dado set. Do you all think I get a relatively good deal for the Delta dado set at 55.99 including shipping?

By the way, I tested the Freud blade on a piece of 1x6 pine, and the cut surface feels smoother than sanding. Amazing... for 30 bucks.

[LCHIEN]

not familiar with the Dado from Delta.
But for $150 you would expect a nice one.
Another question is, do you have a BT3x saw? If so there's issues with 8" dados, the BT3x is probably better with a 6" set.
If you have a normal 10" contractor saw and you need a dado, then you might take a risk on the Delta one for $55 or whatever.
If you have a BT3x family saw, then you would probably be happier in the long run with a 6" dado.

I know that Freud makes nice 6" and 8" stack dados.
