Radial Arm Saw Blades

[omega1]

Can anyone suggest what blade type would be used to crosscut stock on A RAS? I currently have a 60T freud crosscut blade in that snatches no matter what :evil: . Would a negative rake be better than a positive rake? :-k

Negative will help a bit but they still tend to ride into the work.

I use a freud LP30M on my RAS. Its 40 teeth negative rake and it cuts everything with ease, Almost mirror smooth finish on most woods and no grab or tear out.
The same blade has been in use now for over 3 years.
