Blades for a slider --  0 -- 
11/14
We are currently using FS Tool blades for our Felder slider and have found that they warp a lot. Not sure if we will get them again. Has anyone else had this problem and what blades do you find work the best. Have tried to hammer them out but with mixed success.

You need a thicker plate. AKA a better quality blade. Call schmitdt tooling supply or any other local tooling supplier and tell them what your cutting. Do you need triple chip, ATB, Aggressive etc. I've only ever had cheap freud blades and the like warp.
Once you buy better blades and cut with them you will never go back to the hardware store .
We even run the high end blades on our regular chop saws. It makes a huge difference in finish cut and quality.

try a set of stabilizers, cheap, might do the trick, however calculate in to see if you have offset for scorer, but there is no substitute for quality, consider better blades

We use a mix of Leuco, Leitz and Forrest blades on our slider with no problems. Most are 12" and 14" and have plates about .110" to .125"; larger diameter blades have thicker plates. Are you misusing your blades, like ripping thick stock with a high tooth count blade? I've never had warpage problems, and thought FS Tool was a reputable outfit. Have you tried discussing the problem with their tech service?

Sorry not sure of the replies. I was under the impression that an FS Tool blade that is 135$ from our industrial supplier was a quality blade. We are not a hobby shop and no stabilizers will not fit on our triple pin arbour of the saw.

We use Leuco blades on the slider and beam saw. Their scoring blades (beam saw) are much better than others. We have an FS blade for the Omga and it has been fine. Is the blade being run hot? Dull, too slow of feed, wrong tooth pattern for the use?

We use FS tool blades and have good luck with them on our slider. I would check the saw setup if you haven't, as in travel of slider parallel with blade, check saw arbor and flange for run out with a dial indicator and rip fence alignment
You didn't say what type of blade? Is it used for panel stock or solid?

XL4000 S23250 60T 10" .126 plate run at 6000rpm for melamine and pc plywood panel sizing only.

I am running two of those blades both 12" and they are always in rotation on the saw with no problem going on at least 5 years cutting the same materials.
I could be wrong but I remember running my 10" saw at 4000 rpm. Might be worth a try to drop the rpm.

I am running FS tool blades on my SCM slider with out any issues. They cut great. I cut melamine and multi core prefinished ply'd and some mdf. Have you had troubles with any other blades, have you checked your saw?

I had a lot of problems with a sharpening service destroying blade after blade. And, not hobby blades- a lot of them were FS Tool. You probably need to ask them some questions. We have run FS, Amana, and Freud without any problems once we got away from them.

I think your rpm is way too high, even for a 10" blade. Heat build up causes shorter blade life and warping. 4500 rpm should be better, and less noisy too. You can always increase your tooth count.
11/23 #13: Blades for a slider ...
Following this thread, I am about to order blades for a slider coming in.
I need to rip 1" that burns a little easy and cross cut the same. Some times cutting upto 2".
Hoping for some recommendations for blades. I would guess a positive rake angle is preferred as the rake would pull the stock tight to the slider. Anyone using negative rakes on a slider?
Brands? I have been looking at some Skarpaz. Are they a quality blade? I know you get what you pay for...... looking into FS tool and Forrest as well. Though my Frued 24T rip industrial has been a good go to blade on my unisaw for years. Unsure if when stepping up to 12" I should also be considering thicker plate.
Anyone know if the cut is coarser on a 30T 12" as opposed too a 30T 10"? Seems the tooth spacing will be further aprt on the larger diameter blade. Does it make a difference?

FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)
WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
A valid email return address must be included with each message.
Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
"Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator

WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.
Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).
Libel: Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.
Improper Decorum: Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).
Advertising: The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).
Repeated Forum Abuse:
Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.
There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk.
