Forrest's blades offer a superior cut that leaves a rip-cut saw edge that is as smooth as if it had been sanded, and a cross-cut edge that is almost mark-free. The blades run very quietly, and backside tearout in plywood is negligible. Each blade is virtually hand-made. The plate is hand-tensioned (up to 15 minutes per blade), superior C-4 carbide teeth are hand-brazed to the plate, and the blade is straightened and re-straightened multiple times throughout the process. Think of a Forrest blade as a tool in your shop, not an accessory. Forrest stands behind its blades by offering a sharpening service that bring blades back to the exact tolerances offered in a new blade. And this same exacting service is available for other manufacturer's blades as well, so they should come back better than new. Forrest Woodworker 1 Saw Blade For Radial and Table Saws. These trim and cross-cut ALL PURPOSE blades give scratch-free POLISHED cuts on wood, RIP or CROSSCUT, up to 2-inches thick. They have a 30 degree Alternate Top Bevel with a 5 degree Face Hook on 10-inch diameters and smaller.
Customer Review: Good- but not as good as the 40 tooth version
I bought this as a less-costly replacement for a 40 tooth thin kerf WWII that I accidently ran a screw through and broke off twelve teeth. This was touted as almost as good and a good choice for an underpowered saw. I used this with my 1.5 hp. unisaw with the stabilizer disc. I would agree that it is almost as good as the 40 tooth and is better than the other brands I have used. It tends to burn more than the 40 tooth with not quite as clean a glue line, and for the results, I would spend the extra money for the 40 tooth, as the results with it are fantastic.
Customer Review: Forrest is TOP quality
I have a very nice cabinetmaker's shop, and appreciate good tools, both hand and machine. This is the third Forrest blade I've bought, because they are SO superior to other brands. (I also have their 80 tooth crosscut, and a thin kerf combo blade). I even quit having my saw/planer/jointer blades sharpened locally, because Forrest does such a superior job sharpening all of these. It's not as convenient, but the quality is worth it. You will NOT regret spending the money for this blade.

Customer Review: Like a hot knife through butter
This blade cut through both melamine and MDF that I attached laminate to with ease, and left a very clean edge on both sides of the material. Tear-out was virtually non-existent. I generally buy only Freud blades because of their superior quality, and this blade is no exception.
Customer Review: Sharp saw blade for molding
This blade cut through with little or no tear-out on the back side of the wood. It was the perfect choice for use on crown molding, as it left such a clean cut when done.
