Bob, What would the approximate cost of an 8 inch blade be for each of the below type blades referenced? I'm saying 8 rather than 7 and a quarter inch since an 8 inch is what my table saw takes.

It is Japanese and if the Japanese excel at anything they sure know how to make things sharp. Of course the Freud glue line blades are also excellent blades and they leave smooth cuts too. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lenny McHugh To: handyman-blind Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2008 2:25 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Final Cut Blade I just received this from Larry Martin about the final cut blade. One of the comments reassures my thoughts about burning the wood. I will be removing it from my Christmas wish list. Lenny Here's a thoughtful response from the Fine Woodworking Ask An Expert forum: I haven't used the blade so I can't offer an opinion, but a good blade on a properly set up saw will produce a very clean cut so I doubt that the sanding would make it any better. I also doubt that the paper would hold up for long, so the time and expense of replacing the paper would be an ongoing cost and annoyance. I also suspect that you wouldn't want to leave the blade on the saw for less precise cuts, so you would have the added hassle of installing and removing the blade repeatedly during a project. And Lenny, here are a couple of other responses: 1) I have been a trim carpenter for many years. This looks bogus to me. Think about it... if the sandpaper is proud of the saw teeth, it would burn. If not, it depends on the "wobble" of the blade, not good. Just pay the bucks and get a good blade. My Tenryu 12" 100 tooth blade makes cuts that are SMOOTHER than if you had sanded them. You have to spend the money but it will last for years. Of course your saw has to be good too. Good luck! 2) I just looked at the advertisement again for good measure and...total BS, don't bother only for knuckleheads. -- Larry Martin Woodworking for the Blind --joining the world of blind wood workers -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Lenny McHugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Larry, may I share your observation with the BHM list? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Lenny McHugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2008 11:01 PM > Subject: Final Cut Blade > > > Lenny -- I had not heard of the Final Cut blade before but I was favorably > impressed. > > MLCS is a respected mail order woodworking operation and they speak > glowingly about the Final Cut Blade.
