From the Manufacturer
Forrest's blades offer 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 1 Saw Blade For Radial and Table Saws. These trim and cross-cut ALL PURPOSE blades give scratch-free POLISHED cuts on wood, RIP or CROSSCUT, up to 2" thick. They have a 30° Alternate Top Bevel with a 5° Face Hook on 10" diameters and smaller.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Table Saw Blade
This is my second purchase of same blade. Could not pass up great price and added discount for deck building items that amazon offered. $78 was a steal! This blade stays on my PM66 all the time for all cuts. Clean and smooth through any material. Gets plenty of work in my shop as the TS is the workhorse tool. I waited for the great deal to have a second blade for the day when I need to send back the original back to Forrest for sharpening.

Great saw blade!
I recently upgraded to a new Delta 36-982 10" contractor's saw from an old Crafstman 10" model. I decided I was tired of poor cuts and burn marks, and since I don't have a good jointer, I'd better have a good blade to match my nice new saw, so I sprung for the Forrest after reading lots of reviews.

So far I couldn't be happier with the new blade (and saw). On straight oak boards, it really does cut nice enough for glue-ups without jointing the edges. Even with some slightly twisted oak that was a challenge to get through the cuts easily, the blade left minimal cut marks. I was really amazed.

It's tough for a hobbiest woodworker to justify a $90 saw blade, but in the lognrun, I'm sure it's the best thing to do. And, like many have reccommended, to protect my investment I will probably send it back to Forrest when it's time to resharpen.

Another Satisfied Forrest Blade Owner
Previous to purchasing this blade I had never paid more than $50 for a blade. I was reluctant to purchase it because the price and I thought my blade was fine until I started reading the reviews on Forrest blades having a smooth edged glue line rip potential. I had always cut my stock a little bigger to allow for jointing or planing to get rid of the awful blade marks caused by my old blades. So I gave the Forrest Woodworker II a try and got the 1/8" kerf (.125) to match my old blades so I wouldn't have to tweak my Jet Contractor table saw. When the blade arrived I was very impressed with the quality of it right out of the box, and the ability to send the blade in to get re-sharpened was a big plus. When I first installed the blade and turned the table saw on I wasn't very impressed with it as it was about as loud and vibrated just as much as my other blades. I ripped a few boards and was impressed by how it cut with no problem, but there was still blade marks on the wood. I thought I got a dud blade. I checked the table saws calibrations again, but they were pretty much dead on using incra guaranteed squares and a stabila level. I was pretty ticked by this point. Later that night I got online and looked at reviews and tried to investigate why the Forrest blade wasn't performing well. I found and purchased the 5" blade stabilizer and read about and then purchased the Power Twist V-Belt all in hopes of correcting the problem. When the items arrived I first just installed the Power Twist V-Belt to replace the auto belt on the table saw. I noticed an immediate difference in loudness and vibration. The saw was extremely quiet and very little to no vibration at startup and while running no vibration. I ripped a few boards and finally got a great edge rip, but there were still a few minor scratches here and there. I then installed the Forrest 5" blade stabilizer. I ripped a few more boards and finally got a perfect glass like glue line rip. Now I will never use another saw blade for my shop table saw. The Forrest Woodworker II blade works as advertised, but you must have a completely dialed machine for it to perform to that standard.
