I use Tenryu Mel Pro 100T or a Leitz 80T and Forrest HI ATB. I cut mostly Okume lumbercore Plywd with wht. laminate on both sides and 13 ply maple. When ripping hardwoods I use a Tenryu 24 T rapid cut or a Frued combination. I change blades often depending on the material i'm cutting.
What brand blade is in your TS right now?

I've Forrest Woodworker II. I did a major project ripping & cutting cheery (finished) panels. Couldn't have bought a better blade.
Couple of days ago I removed it from the saw and cleaned it using Toolsaver
system (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=11497) to restore to its
original look. I had great results. Should have cleaned it bit sooner.Last edited by kmk; 08-16-2007, 09:42 PM.Comment

There's a Delta on the new saw. Hopefully the tool gloat and pic will make it up today."It's a dog eat dog world out there, and I'm wearing Milk-Bone underwear."- Norm (from Cheers)

Just bought mine from CL and cracked it open to blow it out...the blade is literally unmarked except for an engraved KBL 40T...engraved by hand I believe.
lol...odd...so I choose other. :P Have a disposable Oldham 60T finishing blade ready to cut a bunch of laminate flooring. I don't expect the blade to survive long after the job.

If your experience with the 60T Oldham is anything like mine, you'll be hoping the flooring puts an end to it!Just bought mine from CL and cracked it open to blow it out...the blade is literally unmarked except for an engraved KBL 40T...engraved by hand I believe.

Some one dug this up so Ill comment, I have quite a few freud blades from when we discontinued them at work.
I haven't used my saw for a few months till Sunday and I had to trim a miniblind to install and I noticed I had a Dewalt 8-1/4" treated lumber blade from my circular saw in there
I guess its still in there from when I did my shed last fall, but it did its jobComment
