+1 7.25" Freud Diablo 40 tip CT blade. Makes a great cut with minimal loss. |

The 60 tooth is overkill. I keep this blade on my saw 95% of the time, and only pull it off when I need extra depth. At $15 each, just toss it when dull, or save it for cutting aluminum and phenolic. Also great on saws that are underpowered, such as tabletop or contractor saws. Todd, What do you use when you need the extra depth? |

+1 on the Diablo thin kerf. Bur more importantly, I think a zero clearance set-up will be more important than the blade you choose. |
