    Ridgid Ultimate Polish Blades

    I need to cut some melamine covered particle board for a closet organizer project. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on this blade? It seems to be at a good price related to what the BORG retails these at. I actually have the 12" version for my CMS (purchased well before I found this board), and it does a good job. Just thought I'd try to tap into the experience and insight to those on this board.

    Any better suggestions? I've done a search for posts on this board but wanted to check this specific blade at this price versus your experience and opinions.

    One last question, what is the pushback like when cutting melamine with one of these blades on the table saw? I've cut more narrow pieces with a circular saw and a blade specifically for melamine/laminate and although it does a great job with a clean cut with minimal chipout, it's almost like the opposite of trying to real in a big fish that is fighting hard. (The opposite being the "pushback" versus pulling of a fish)

    Thanks in advance for any input.

    That blade is made by Freud and should be fine for that application. Here's a link to the same blade for less money on Ebay.
