The Forrest is too expensive. And the Delta and DeWalt don't give me as smooth a cut as I want. Then things get tough. I can make a perfectly good joint with either the CMT, Sears or Oldham. The way I look at it, buying a saw blade isn't all that different from buying any other tool.
Quality means more than price.
So I picked the Forrest blade because of the quality of cut. Polished ends when crosscutting. And when ripping, it leaves edges smooth enough to glue up. That's nice since I don't have a jointer. August Home Publishing Co. All Rights Reserved.
