Have been looking on line for a carbide, the Borg's, called Rockler, they
don't have one. Lowe's shows a Dewalt non carbide. Will have to look at
Lowe's tomorrow when I'm there to see if maybe they have something not on
their website. Where to get a decent carbide at a reasonable price? May have
to get the Dewalt for 9 bucks to do just this project. Won't be throwing
away much when it dulls anyway. Thanks.

I got a pretty decent carbide plywood-cutting blade by Oldham at Menards about
two years ago. Don't remember what I paid for it... but I've cut up a couple
dozen sheets of plywood, melamine, and MDF with it, and it's still good and
sharp.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.
I have a gold Freud Diablo blade on my circular saw, and it gives a very
nice cut. I've used it on birch plywood quite a bit, even though I don't
think it's specifically a plywood blade. No tearout, smooth finish. And
it's got carbide tips, and was a reasonable price.

Thanks, that's one place I didn't go to. Just got the Dewalt at Lowe's. Made
a nice cut but I ended up screwing up the cut. Got a little wiggly, now I
gotta figure a way to square everything up, beings these pieces are too big
to rip on my TS.

non-carbide blades are made of good steel for making scrapers out of.
don't throw it away....

I got a 7 1/4 Matsushita blade at Western Tool that cuts really well,
and didn't cost a fortune (about $30 several years ago).

No connection other than having spent a lot of money there. Their stores
didn't seem to have a lot of stock until I realized that everything they
sell is good, useful stuff - no crap to weed through. They are
contractor oriented.
