Product Description

For chop saws and radial arm saws. These top-quality miter saw blades produce perfectly cut miter joints. Made with double-hard C-4 submicron carbide for up to 300% longer life. A heavier than normal steel plate and a negative face hook maintain maximum stability for the best cut. Each blade is hand-straightened to a runout of .001/.002 for maximum cut quality. The tooth style (4 points and a flat) maximizes steady, clean cuts with no bottom splintering. You will be amazed by the extra-smooth, tight cuts you will get with this blade.

From the Manufacturer
The Forrest CM10806105 Chopmaster 10-Inch 80 Tooth ATBR Miter and Radial Saw Blade (with 5/8-Inch Arbor) offers a superior cut that leaves a rip-cut saw edge that is as smooth as if it had been sanded, and a cross-cut edge that is almost mark-free. The blades run very quietly, and backside tearout in plywood is negligible. Each blade is virtually hand-made. The plate is hand-tensioned (up to 15 minutes per blade), superior C-4 carbide teeth are hand-brazed to the plate, and the blade is straightened and restraightened multiple times throughout the process. Think of a Forrest blade as a tool in your shop, not an accessory. Forrest stands behind it's blades by offering a sharpening service that bring blades back to the exact tolerances offered in a new blade. And this same exacting service is available for other manufacturer's blades as well, so they should come back better than new. Forrest Woodworker 2 Saw Blade For Table Saws. With this one all purpose blade you can RIP & CROSSCUT 1" to 2" hardwood and softwood resulting in a smooth as sanded surface. Ply-veneers of oak and birch will crosscut with NO BOTTOM SPLINTER at moderate feed rates. Customized Forrest Woodworker 2 For Table Saws. For the advanced table saw operator. Ideal for joinery and special uses. Specially engineered clearances on the carbide teeth can totally eliminate side scoring. The result...no planing/jointing or sanding. In many cases a glue-line cut can be obtained, depending on the accuracy of the saw machine.

Customer Reviews

The Best Blade - Bar None
A little "pricey" but well worth it! No other saw blade on the market can compete with Forrest. It blows Freud away. Quiet, no vibration, flat & true and your cuts look like they were sanded with 200 grit sandpaper. And that's just the product. Before buying this blade I had questions about the kerf width so I called Forrest. It was after hours I didn't expect an answer, but Mr. Forrest himself answered the phone. I was blown away that he answers his own phone; try to get the president of Freud on the phone. He and I spoke for a good 15-20 minutes. Mr. Forrest personally told me if for any reason I didn't like HIS blade he would buy it back from me no questions asked. He also told me in all his years in business he has never had to buy back a blade. It say's a lot when someone stands behind their product like that. Simply the best... Bar none!

Freud vs. Forrest?
I've owned the Freud LU85 & F80 crosscut blades. They in no way compare to the quality of the Chopmaster. The Forrest has no vibration at all! I mean none. The plate is so flat & true, when you pull the triger it feels like there isn't even a blade on the saw. It's also very quiet as well, no ringing after the blade comes to a stop. It cuts hardwood so smooth it's like it's been sanded to 600 grit paper. It cuts softwood very good to. I also considered the Ridge Carbide TS 1000 & Tenryu Miter Pro. They are all about the same price. I doubt you could go wrong with these two blades either. So spend the extra $... . Forget about Freud! They make good router bits, but their saw blades are just average compared to Forrest. It's like a Civic vs. a Ferrari....

Outstanding Performance
Without a doubt, the very best blade I've used on my Makita Slide/Compound Miter Saw. I am a Contractor/Trim Carpenter and have used many different blades over the years. You simply can't go wrong with this product. Not the least expensive blade by any means, but unquestionably the best.
