Well just paid for a; FREUD PRO 250x30x40T TCT CIRCULAR SAW BLADE LP30M 025 from eBay. With a 15% off voucher they sent me it cost £21.46 delivered so I'm quite chuffed. On my own I was going to get a Dewalt blade that was not as suitable for about £15 more, so my gratitude goes out to all...

Looks a great blade - I found a short video from Freud showing it cutting through a long line of different materials here;VIDEO As its about three times the price of the other one though I'm going to give it a miss this time. Thanks for the info though! TG

Ah..it makes sense now, the lobe holds the wood away. Thankyou - nice to learn something new. Interesting about the neg rake as well. I didnt know this when I bought the Dewalt blade for my mitre saw - have to have a look. I did find with the Dewalt that it cut beautifully at first, but soon...

I'm ordering it today - really good to know its money well spent! TG

I have mainly done rip cuts so far. Surprising that 24T is the best - do more teeth just make no difference, or does it actually hinder the cutting? Also, I dont know what anti-kickback lugs are I'm afraid, could you explain? Thankyou for your detailed reply!

I have a Rexon BT2502AE

Hello all, I am new to woodworking (a rather amateur affair but a real passion with me). I have a Rexon BT2502AE 250mm Table Saw but the blade - although not bad - does not give a very finished cut (250mm - 30 teeth I think) I have previously bought a Dewalt blade for my mitre saw and it is...
