What blade do you use with your BT3000?

[linear]

I just put a WWII thin kerf on, thanks to the recent sale. Before that I used the Freud stock BT3 blade. I can tell some improvement going to the WWII but I don't have much time with it yet.

Seems like most of us are inclined to like the blade we got. Dance with the one that brung ya I guess.

I still have the OEM Frued blade that came with my saw but have not used it in years due to it needing to be sharpened. Most of the time I use an 80 tooth Freud TK, sometimes a 60 tooth TK Freud, with the exception of any multiple rips where i'll switch to a 24 tooth rip blade, not sure of the brand. ~40% of my cuts are hardwood, ~30% plywood, ~20 % softwood and the balance all others. With rips and cross cuts near 60:40 ratio in aggregate length.

Most stock is 4/4 but I have ripped 8/4 with the high tooth count blades.

WW II Thin Kerf. Works great!!

I'll second that. I just got mine last week (thanks to the bargain alert). Used it on hard maple that I had just jointed one side. Couldn't tell which side of my boards was jointed after I ripped the boards to width on my BT3000 with the WW II TK. (And no, my jointer blades aren't worn - they are quite new and are yielding a very smooth surface. The WW II is just providing exceptionally smooth cuts - can't see tooth marks even looking at reflected light off the maple edge).

what blade do you use.....

I've had my BT3000 for 10 years now and very rarely use anything other than an 80 toothed blade: I make furniture so have never found I needed any other type of blade.

Hope this helps.
