Recommended circular saw blade for cutting an oak worktop?

[thomashenry]

As the title says really - any recommendations? It's only going to get used once (hopefully..!), so I don't want to spend too much. 7.5" blade size.

I assume a table saw blade IMO any new blade will do it, I inherited a Silverline 40 tooth blade 235 dia and it cut through some 100mm oak without trouble four times over a 1m length after that it was pretty well spent, re-sharpened and put in the draw about a year ago and has not seen the light of day since.

i would use a router if poss - much cleaner and squarer cut

A worktop is going to be 40mm or so thick. Using a router to clean edges is fine, but doing a 40mm cut with it is a lot to ask...
