With the Amazon discount am interested in a new blade for the cms. Can't justify a $100+ blade so am looking at around $70 less the discount. Any recommendations?
Thanks

I've been very pleased with the results I get from my Freud LU85R010. Glass smooth edges are the norm._________________________

I second that Freud. I bought one for my cheap cms (GMC) and it made a difference, over what I thought was a decent 40 tooth.She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.Comment

Link from email I got from MLCS:

A 12" 80-tooth C4 carbide blade for $80. Ain't cheap, but my understanding it's a blade in same class as Ridge Carbide RS1000 or Forrest Chopmaster.
Also: a 10" 80T blade is $70. (Free shipping in continental US)Last edited by scorrpio; 02-09-2007, 07:57 AM.Comment

I recently changed the blade on my RAS to a Freud with a negative hook blade. On a CMS, I think the negative hook would be less necessary but on the RAS it was a big benefit. On my CMS, I also have a Freud blade that I think is a triple chip grind, I bought it based upon price, that works well. It has about 50 teeth. My favorite blades for the BT3100 are also Freuds. I have tried other brands but not extensively. I have gotten consistently good results with Freuds of the appropriate grind (for a CMS I would want a ATB or possibly a triple chip with at least 50 teeth).
