For those who don't get the Woodpeckers email....
If you've been waiting for the chance to get a world class table saw
blade on sale, here it is.
$80 for a blade that is, from all reports, an equal peer to the Forrest
WWII.

THANKS, Mike. I need to see what is in the shop now, but I just bought a ne=
w 10" miter saw a few months ago. I had a great saw blade similar in featu=
res except less quality carbide in my old miter saw and it cut great for ab=
out 10 years! My old saw blade resharpener told me that most good quality =
blades wear out because=20
users don't cut straight and cause heat/deformation because the blades have=
crap build up on the teeth.
That blade was on old Freud, made long before they painted everything red a=
nd was a regular, thick kerf blade. With just 40 teeth, it looks just like=
one of those in the link. Will be checking saw blades this weekend.
Good stuff.

Holy crap! That didn't look like much of a deal until I went to look
what WWIIs are going for these days! I paid about $100 for mine just
a few years ago.

I'm very curious about these blades, as I've never heard a single bad
thing about them. Only all great reviews. Apparently one of the
factors that sets them apart, quality wise, is the exacting standards
they have for run-out and matching tooth width.
They also claim a very high amount of sharpenings.

I wonder how long they remain sharp. I have my Forrests resharpened
about every 2~3 years. I still use my 19 year old, and my 14 year old
and my 7 year old Forrest.
At the prices that these are, get two if you don't have one now.
I have multiples of the WWII so that when one gets dull I sent it in to
be resharpened and begin using one that was resharpened a few years ago.
The oldest I had reshaped to cut flat bottom groves.
