Does anyone know of any sites where I can find out more info on tablesaw blades? like what the hook angle & other technical stuff means.
Ive found with a standard table saw blade (315mm diameter - 48 teeth) it leaves a v-shape when cutting a groove, its hard to show with text but its like this in the bottom of the groove ^ & if I want to move the rip fence over by say 3mm to cut another groove & keep doing this until I have a nice dado type groove the sides are great but the bottom is like this ^^^^^^
Ive seen some thin kerf blades by CMT in the axminster catalogue, im not after the thin kerf of 1.7mm as such but what does appeal to me is it says they have a tooth layout of 1 square tooth followed by 2 teeth at a 20 degree bevel, it says the square tooth squares up the cut for trenching.
Ideally though I would prefer a proper blade with a 3.2mm kerf from Freud but none of them mention this extra square tooth.
Im after a 60 or 80 toothed blade so I can make really nice & accurate crosscuts but one that will also cut a nice square groove without leaving a ^ at the bottom, is this impossible or am I just totally dumb & lacking knowledge on this type of thing? :?
