Ever since I tried a friend's 80T Hi-ATB blade a couple of years ago, I've wanted one for my saw. Hi-ATB is the cleanest cutting grind available. About 3 weeks ago I finally broke down a bought a brand new CMT 255.080.10 80 tooth Hi-ATB blade that cuts beautifully.
When Amazon dropped the price last week on the 100T Forrest Duraline Hi-ATB to $91.68 (before promos), I couldn't resist and ordered that one too.
I can't keep both blades, so I'm putting this almost new CMT up for sale. $30 plus shipping... (~ $38 shipped) gets a blade that has been used very briefly on some 1/2" maple for a jewelry box....roughly 12-15 linear feet at most. It's looks new and I suspect you'll have a tough time telling that it was ever used....no marks, chips, scratches, etc. Original package included. It sells new for between $63 and $91 at various retailers. Awesome for hardwood crosscuts, ply, veneers, laminates, etc.
Techical details:
