Decent blades for 8" table saw

[Marcjwebb]

Hi peeps.

Just want to say a big thanks for the support in here so far. Everyone has been a great help.

I do however need some guidance again tho lol.

Just got a new table saw that takes an 8" blade.

But, I can not seem to find any blades that size with 80t or 100t, can anyone help ?

i have never seen an 8" blade with so many. an 8" with 64 teeth is probably equivalent to a 10" with 80.

Ah ok. How does that work lol

Take it it's to do with how many teeth per square inch ? Or on those lines ?

It's the circumference that matters - teeth per inch
10 inch blade has circumference of 31.5 inches, 8 inch blade has 25 inches, that's 20% less, so 80 teeth on a 10 inch blade = 64 teeth on an 8 inch blade to get the same tpi, exactly as marcros said
