    Forrest CM10806105 Chopmaster

    Has anybody used this blade? What do you think of it? It says it is a miter/radial saw blade but could it be used on a table saw?
    What are the pros and cons of doing this?
    Just wondering...

    it's a specialty miter/RAS saw blade, I would not consider it for a TS unless you only plan to do crosscuts and even then the hook angle might not be the best - it may want to lift the wood. I think its not a cheap blade to be misused.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      The Forrest WWI or Infinity 010-060 are better choices for TS use. Not only with they both crosscut extremely well, both will do better in ply, and laminates than the Chopmaster, plus because they have a 5° hook they'll even rip fairly efficiently to about 5/4", so both are actually very versatile for blades that offer crosscut performance at this level.
