I have found some discussion on blades on the forums, which is helpful, but thought I'd ask a specific couple of questions.
First, does anyone know what kind of blade might be on my 22811? I think it is most likely the original one that came installed on the saw. By cranking up the blade, I was not able to see a brand name, but I did see this info:
10" combination blade
7000 RPM
36 teeth
laser cut, carbide tipped
Made in Italy
Secondly, I figure I need a decent combination blade -- one that will do fairly nice crosscuts, and good rips. I am doing a little trim work on a home addition, and primarily need to rip some 3/4" oak to size, for some wood columns. Will the blade I have (whatever kind it turns out to be) do a decent job, or -- if not, can someone recommend what they consider to be the best blade to do this job, at the most affordable price? I have looked online for some blades at various websites (I glanced at ereplacementparts, as I need to buy a wrench as mentioned in my earlier thread and thought I might add a few things to that order), but it is tough to know what you are getting in terms of quality-- so I'd be interested in opinions from people who have used different blades...
Thanks so much,
Steve
