Ed regarding using a plywood blade for cutting non plywood items, I know that a friend used a plywood blade installed backward in his portable table saw to cut vinyl siding.

Hi all, I've been working on another plumbing project and I thought I'd pass on a little information. Until now, I've always used a plywood blade on my radial arm saw to cut PVC pipe. A while back, someone told me that this was a good way to do it. A few years ago, I purchased 5 or 6 12-inch 80-tooth blades at Big Lots for $15 apiece. The price makes these blades great for experimentation. Since there was already one of these blades in my saw, I thought I'd try cutting a pipe just to see what kind of results I'd get. It worked really well. The cut was very smoothe and there wasn't a single ragged edge on the pipe. I'm sold and this is the way I'll be cutting PVC from now on. Take care, Ed [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
