Hello Greek Enigma, You might also like to look at Ultimate Handyman forums - Not only about woodwork but painting and decorating, plumbing and electrics etc. http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/forum1/index.php David :)

Out of politeness, I thought I should come back and report that I eventually bought a Freud Pro 40 tooth blade. I'm very pleased with it and would recommend. David :)

Thanks Matthew and all others who have contributed to this thread :) As I'm sixty-seven and suffering with a heart condition, I only work slowly and occasionally, so I won't need ten blades - LOL. However, the Pro-Trade PT254/30 for £26:03 seems like a good proposition which I'll definitely...

Please try not to laugh too loudly but I own a Ryobi table saw - I haven't got the manual to hand but I think the model number may be: ETS1526AL. The fact is that I can't properly justify replacing the whole thing and, having carried out a few tweeks, it will just about do what I want it to do...

Before doing any shimming, find out whether it's the blade or the fence which is out of line. You'll probably find it's the fence and as I've said, see if it's flexing.

Especially with thin sheet materials, make sure that the material you're cutting maintains contact with the table, otherwise it could be the lead edge jamming against the slot that the blade comes up through. I also have a Ryobi table saw and have experienced this problem. I also noticed that...

A set of JML screw extractors. I find these are totally useless, as they work like a drill in reverse and instead of gripping the screw head they drill into it.
