I'm do for another Forrest HI A/T Blade and I wanted to see from you guys if there's another manufacturer just as good or if not better than the Forrest HI A/T blades?

By the way, I have been presently using 12" Duraline Hi-A/T Saw Blade - 100 Teeth - .125 Kerf but Forrest distributors are 10 weeks or so back up.

Tenryu makes a Hi ATB in that size and tooth count. I haven't used that particular blade, but have always been impressed with the results from Tenryu. I have also found the pricing to be quite reasonable. Hope this helps.

I have always used and like FS tool blades, they are very good quality.
I was talking to a tools/woodworking dealer a few weeks ago and he said a lot of shops are using the CMT blades and saying they are getting amazing results out of them.
I can’t comment as I think I only have one for a miter saw.

DIABLO BLADES CHEAP VERY GOOD LONG LASTING

Amana, FS tool, Tenryu, all gpod for my shop. Ive never found a situation where forrests price point makes a dollars and cwnts decision. Diablos are fine for a disposable blade but if your looking for heavy carbide thats good for several reaharps in the freud line you move to their industruals and your pretty much on point with the rest. Freud industrials have given us some of the best.bang.for the buck.

Forrest & FS are better blades. Period

Amana use D-10 carbide. It definitely does not stay as sharp as the C-4. It’s really obvious cutting melamine.

Keep in mind the upfront cost is minor. Say you buy a $100 blade and a $50 blade. The more expensive one gives better cuts and lasts twice as long. Basically a wash. However, the real savings is sharpening each time you have it sharpened it costs the same $25. So with the $100 blade $100 + (5)$25 = $225 for $600 worth of a better blade. $50 + (5)$25 = $175 for $300 worth of blades that cut half as long.

In reality when you start sharpening you are getting 200% more value.

Buy the best blades you can afford.

Thank you group!

Industrial Freud or FS. The FS miter saw blades out cut a Freud any day. I personally like a 14" combo blade in the regular table saw.

Adam is absolutely on point with the sharpening. My guy charges $18 for a 10" blade...

Check out Ridge Carbide. We have been using them for years. Great blades

FS-Tool, Skarpaz, Everlast. I still have some old vintage Systimatic (USA) from the old days.

Ken, I am still using an old stack Systematic dado blade from the early 90's. Best dado blade ever. Was sad to see Systematic close. It is hard to find good, dependable products these days.

Thomas, I just recently scored an old stock Super Fine Systimatic dado set I had bore 30mm and sharpened for my horizontal slider. I always wanted to try some dado indexing on the cross cut table for quick case work.
