Put a different blade to my new tablesaw yesterday, the one supplied was a 27 tooth ripping blade. The manual calls their 38 tooth a standard blade. Why the machine does not therefore come with a standard blade gave me some thoughts.
The new blade of a different manufacturer to my saw model which has 42 teeth however does not produce a crosscut any better than original!
I do have another blade with 80 teeth unused which was supplied as a spare with a purchase some years ago from Axminster for their AWS10 mitre saw.
This blade is a 254mmx2.8 x 30 x80Z the kerf cut is therefore 0.1mm greater than my riving knife!
I would not obviously use this blade on any ripping operations but would like to use its potential for fine crosscutting work such as picture frames etc. Seeing that a fence is not involved the riving knife problems should not in my opinion present any operating problems. Am I correct?
Also being supplied with the mitre saw, does the tooth pattern present dangerous use?
