For my trusty old Skil 77? I know there are various combination blades that
purport to do a good job of ripping, but not all that make that claim even have
a ATB&R configuration with raker teeth that I would consider essential for
ripping. For my situation (making a BUNCH of full-length rip cuts in the 8/4
hickory I mentioned back in the planer sled thread) I'd really prefer a FTG
(flat top grind) blade designed specifically for ripping, but I'm not really
seeing any (in the obvious places) in a 7-1/4" configuration. I know that
Freud makes a line of rip blades, but not in that size. Any leads? Real world
experience?

Of course, the minute I post here I included "FTG" in my search (which I didn't
think to do before) and found several candidates (in some of the "obvious"
places :-)), but I'd still like to hear any opinions if anyone has experience
with specific blades. Thanks.
