roughsawn Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I'm looking for a full kerf, 10" crosscut blade, flat top ground for cutting rabbets and dado's on the table saw. I have a 24 tooth, FTG, CMT blade now. Is there such a blade with a higher tooth count? Say...40T to 50Tor 60T? Probably not such a thing, but thought I'd ask.

Coop Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I have a Freud 60 tt but because of the cleaning baths that it has received, I can’t make out the model. Etched in the blade is 120 10 180-12/12 if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I use a 10" 40T Forrest Blade - special #1 grind with flat teeth. Oops, I just checked their website and I don't see it anymore. But I found it here: https://www.woodcraft.com/products/forrest-ww10401125-woodworker-ii-1-grind-saw-blade-10-x-1-x-40-tooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee-dub Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I have a 50 tooth "groover" from Carbide Processors with a .125" kerf. It has ATB teeth for a clean cut and an FTG raker in each set of 5 teeth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughsawn Posted March 29 Author Report Share Posted March 29 Thanks Glen. I saw those online, but didn't know if they left a flat bottomed groove. Are you saying it is a good choice for slots...dado's and rabbets? (it looks like it from your pic. Just confirming.) Never used one of those.

gee-dub Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Dead flat bottom and nice clean shoulders. I think it is a combination of the ATB to slice the cross fiber cuts and the FTG raker to clean out the bottom. Both operations take place in one pass. I have many of my blades made to 1/8" kerf (if not made this way by default) because I use a lot of jigs and need a reliable measurement. They do make "groovers" in wider widths but, if you need 1/8" most often like I do it is easy to make multiple passes. I imagine most of the upper end blade makers offer some form of this blade if you have a favorite supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 I think this is one of the "groovers" gee-dub is talking about. It cuts either 1/4" or 3/8" slots. https://www.freudtools.com/products/SBOX8 (Caveat, if you have a SawStop, check with them before you buy, to see if you might need to use a dado cartridge. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link to a blade that will fit the requirements for @roughsawn? Amana makes an amazing variety of stuff. A product number or link would be very helpful. I use their miniature router bits and they are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
