Just ordered a rip and cross cut blade.. i was honestly on the fence about buying my first forrest blade but i just couldn't justify the cost when ive never had any issue using my freud glue line rip blade.. anxiously waiting to see if there is noticeable difference between them!! I've also read a lot of poor reviews on Forrest saying they just don't make them like they used to and that there no better then Freud at the 3-4x's the cost.. I'll let you know my experience but at that cost i got one of each for under 120 bucks!!!👍
Matthew Adkinson just did the same. Can’t beat the price for giving em a shot.
You just posted this video 20 hrs ago and your recommended supplier is already sold out of the blades I need. So much for supply chain management. Amazon has them in stock. I guess Bezos did make his move.
They're going to be back in stock in about 10 minutes. Dont miss it because the company cleaned out CMT on their 2nd order.

Great video, thanks for the information! One point to fix is your comment about copper plugs at around 2 mins. Copper is actually a very good conductor of heat (about 7 times as good as Steel). I think the plugs are there to reduce noise and vibration because copper is softer.
It’s also a mini heat sink
All the heat moves to the copper instead of the steel blades
For a beginner like myself, this was the most informative video I have watched on saw blades. Thank you for putting this together.
I ordered the combination blade and just received it today. All I can say is, Wow! This is a nice blade and sharp as sharp can be. It cuts wood like butter. Thank you and thumbs up.
I bought your essential saw blade bundle. 1. Immediately, my saw was quieter upon first power up. 2. My cuts were absolutely smoother and less effort...yes the blades were new. 3. Ive been cutting daily for one month with virtually NO detectable change in performance...the only maintenance has been to clean the blades with the CMT cleaner that comes with the bundle. I absolutely recommend first, to purchase from small businesses like KM, and second, to make your own comparisons on your equipment/tools. I believe you'll find that JKM is spot on with what he claims in this video.
I am new to your UA-cam channel. My first vocation was that of a mechanical drafter. I was educated for this and after doing time in the military I found work as a draftsman for a construction firm. After several years of this, I was drawn to the work done by carpenters on the project and changed my vocation to that of an apprentice carpenter. I am now retired and have set up a woodworking shop in my garage. Recently, I constructed the CNC as shown in Woodworking magazine. I am proficient with Sketchup and now working on a class about Fusion 360. You have a great channel, and I will continue to follow.
I don't even own a table saw and I am still watching this video.
...I bet you have 7 or 8 different miter saws though. Have a great day.
Get one
Same here 😂🤣
I bet you own a table saw now in this video is worth it
This is really good advice. I remember the first time I installed a thin kerf Forrest blade on the Ridgid contractor saw I owned in the 90’s - amazing difference. I felt like my entire saw was upgraded.
Great video. I know I needed a better miter saw blade but didn't know how to decide. You've made it simple. Thank you!
Very well done video! I recently brought a high end blade and it has made a huge difference in my work.
Jonathan, Your description (plus the deep discounts) persuaded me to order a CMT combo blade from Taytools. The blade arrived today. I’ve only had a chance to make a few test cuts, but what was immediately obvious was the quality of the build. A very well made blade from all appearances. I’ll follow up here after I have had a chance to use it on a couple of projects. Stu
Great to hear bud!
As a newbie, I cannot thank you enough for these "tool" videos, Joe.
back when you first released this video I bought the rip and cross cut blades with the cleaner and man I have been so happy with the performance of these blades especially the rip blades cut through 8/4 hard maple like butter I really mean it so thanks for the review and I have only had to clean the rip blade once using the cleaner and I also then spray on glide coat dry lube and it's like cutting sticks of butter no matter the wood species.
I finally put my rip blade on and I couldn't believe how great a cut it made! It even crosscut better than the crosscut Sawstop blade I have, so I just ordered a crosscut one. Might pick up a crosscut for my miter saw too! I honestly thought the claims of using a high end blade were overstated, but I was wrong and couldn't be happier!
Thanks for the thorough review and instructions Jonathan! A new rip blade will be in the shop soon. Great deal.
Thanks buddy! You're one of my favorites on UA-cam. I bought your stop block yesterday too and making an awesome sled. You and burbonmoth are awesome.
Thanks JKM! I'm learning that even the simple things I still need to learn much more about. Thanks boss!
I have two blades I use for pretty much everything; A Forrest Woodworker II 20 tooth Rip and a Ridge Carbide TS2000 Super Combo Blade 1/8" Kerf ATBR 40 Tooth. I've had the RC sharpened (and repaired - bent a tooth) and it works pretty well. Just ordered the CMT Ultimate Cross Cutting 60 tooth blade. Looking forward to seeing how it compares.
awesome, you have changed my saw blade buying habits with this video, no more low end blades, thanks for the education.
Hahaha it really is a no Brainerd. Cheers bud!
Great video, just bought a general purpose 40t hiatb cmt blade and absolutely love it! Great content man keep it up 🤙🏻. And like you said the blade is intentionally made to sharpen which is awesome.
Living in Italy I know CMT very well. With Fraiser they are some of the best Italian companies for woodworking out there. I'm glad that you like it
Honestly that was the best video I've watched about saw blades. Great presentation 👍
Jonathan, I usually watch your videos on TV, so never comment. This one video is an exception so I’m using my IPAD. GREAT information. I plan on getting a couple of the new blades. Love your videos. Can’t turn out the work you do cause my cheap ass power tools. Your still an inspiration. THANKS!
I have used CMT for 20 years and they are the best. I am resharpening them up to 15 times. Festool are also really good but also quite expensive. Stay safe ya all
great video, awesome prep on blade templates. overall very educational video. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the excellent info. I just ordered a rip cut blade and the cleaner. It is now mid-December and they still honored your offer code! I have high hopes on this! Thanks again my friend!
Just picked up the combo blade. Thank you for the video and the special deal. Glad it was through Taytools as I have purchased from them a few times. Good Missouri company that has great service.
I purchased CMT blades for both my chop saw and table saw. They are incredible. Very sharp, Mirror like finish on my miter cuts. Thank you for the recommendation.
It's a huge broken saw blade from the other day with a toucan blade with the cover.
Thank you for the codes, just ordered a ripping blade and I have been needing a dado stack for some time now. I can't wait to try them out
The dado is awesome! The shims are super cool and don't get stuck in threads as easily
Was just contemplating this topic! Thanks for the advice and the lead!
Great instructional video! I already knew some of this, but learned so much more than I expected.
One comment: I work almost entirely with plywood. A specialty plywood blade from Forest is awesome. Much cleaner cuts and much less burning. A rip blade is way down the road for me ...
Yeah first thing I bought for my tablesaw was a 80T tcg blade from cmt. It actually is a splinter free cut. SUPER clean!
Came for the view, stayed for the deal. I totally didn't expect to be buying saw blades when I sat down this evening to catch up on my sub videos but you sold me with the big discount deals. I just ordered myself a new rip and crosscut blade. Thanks!
Okay Jonathan, I just got a new table saw so we’ll see how these blades work in it. Thanks for all the videos, keep it up!
Thanks for the info! I’ve been looking to pick up some higher end blades, just picked me up some of these blades, can’t wait to try them out.
You'll be very happy
Thanks for the very informative video.
You are right the Forrest blades are top quality with great customer service and they do the sharpening and other blade tuning and truing for you at a very reasonable price.
Made in the USA!
A very nice, comprehensive video on blades and teeth and whatnots. Thanks!
Thanks for the information. As pre usual you present the details in understandable fashion. I'm going to invest in some of those CMT blades.
AWESOME tnx for the tips. For me this is the best video format. Useful and educational, and also best deal
Win win win
Thanks for all the knowledge. You’ve definitely helped me improve my woodworking game. Now that I’m spending some real money on saw blades, I’m curious what you do to care for/store/clean your saw blades.
Great Video, very informative about the WHY behind the different options and anatomy.
Thank you for this thorough explanation of different types of blades and quality!
Awesome video! Answered so many questions for me, thank you
Perfect timing. I'm so glad I hadn't gone ahead and bought new blades before you published this video. Any updates on the Katz-Moses apron that's going/gone into production? :D
Had been looking at blades and was going to talk to my Dad about it, but then you made this video. Thanks so much! I bought my blades with your discount code. I wonder if someone might read my comment and think, "oh no, you are not going to call your Dad now". I talk or email with my Dad just about every day. He's the best! I got lucky. Love your videos, Jonathan!
I talk to my dad about every day to! Not wrong with that haha
Jonathan, your educational videos are great. Keep up the good work. Regards from UK 👍
That was great Jonathon. And wow you aren't kidding on the deal. That really is a killer deal right now for a high quality blade.
I'm a newbie to woodworking, & this is hands down the most thorough & professional explanation on saw blades I have come across Period!
I used the link to buy a CMT saw blade and was amazed by the difference it made. I have also used your link to get your favorite dovetail saw and my wife bought me your dovetail guide last year. All have been amazing and well worth it. My dovetails are getting better and better.
Awesome my friend!
I ordered 2CMT blades from your link. Been using Diablo blades for several years and my Woodcraft Dealer has a Vendor that sharpens them. I have had good results with these $35.00 dollar blades. The more expensive Forest blades (Rip Blade) I also have and while they run quieter, they excel better in ripping.A little more metal mass. Looking forward to these CMT blades to see how they compare. I already use the CMT Orange Blade cleaner. Good stuff. Simple green does well also on most painted blades. Thanks for the heads up on the sale and discount code.
These videos are all great! I was debating whether to replace my Dewalt contractor saw (the 7491) with a new Laguna Fusion II or invest in a Laguna 6” jointer. This video helped me decide to first upgrade my blades for the Dewalt and get the jointer. (If you think that is stupid, would welcome your comments). Thanks again!
Did you get a full kerf blade for your Dewalt? If so, does the saw have plenty of power to run it?
Great Video! thx so much for A: explaining everything in detail with visual examples especially rake and B: showing off the blade I want to buy (CMT 80T crosscut) ;)
Such a good video with accurate info, thanks.
Tons of great information. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the video Jonathan. I think you may have sold a ton of the rip blades because of your video. Immediately after watching I tried to order and the website said they were sold out. Fortunately, they sent an email next day and said the blades were back in stock. I ordered and included your discount code. Thanks a bunch!
"Crying once" followed links, got great flat dado set $125, LOVE IT, gave away my cheap ass ragged bottom set. Also got quality combo blade... have not used yet, but it looks marvelous!!
Got the general purpose blade for my new saw and the cleaner thanks for the discount! also got a free magnetic angle finder
Just bought the blades from Tay Tools. Really great educational video. And discount code still works!
Gonna give these a try ... At this price it’s worth a shot, and I trust your recommendation.
September 18th and the code still works. Great prices on these blades AND the new 3M sandpaper which is a must buy item as well. Thanks!
Thank you for video. Very informative. I just ordered the blades and the discount code still worked!! :)
What a great video, you put a lot of thought into it.
Ridge carbide makes a 40 tooth ATB-R... by far my favorite blade to use. Great video bud
That’s probably my favorite as well. I go with Popular.. they’re a few hundred or more per blade but worth it.
I just ordered the 10" combo blade. I needed a a new one. I hope it is as good as you say. I still have the same one on it that came with the delta. Thanks.
Joe Rodriguez I just got this too, plus promised FLAT dado stack
Awesome video. Thanks for the information!
Just ordered the general purpose, great deal!
Nice video and impressive blades. They were a good deal and I also made a purchase. Thanks!
Thanks for filling my brain cavity full...again! Awesome video as always and super useful information. I've heard some of this before, but somehow I'm always watching one of your videos when I'm ready to change something in the shop or pull the trigger on an upgrade purchase. I've got an early 2000's Jet contractor saw with a 1-1/2HP motor (at least that's what it says on the plate...). I immediately bought a link belt and a Forrest WoodWorker II thin-kerf combo blade with a stiffener. I read somewhere that that saw would perform better with a thin-kerf blade. The saw performs great, and I've never had any issues (except the limited depth of cut from the stiffener). If I go for one of these dedicated crosscut or ripping blades, do you think I should stick with the thin kerf on this saw? I'd like to get the deeper cut, but don't want to overwork the saw. I don't have plans to upgrade any time soon...
Fantastic, dude! Thanks a lot! 😃
I don't have a table saw yet... I'm finishing the construction of my own space, so there's no much money left. 😬
But I'm going to start to search about good blades I can get here in Brazil! 😃
Thanks! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cheers my friend and best of luck!
@@katzmosestools Thanks!!! 😃
I bought a table saw today. Thanks for all the info
Awesome! I've been looking for a great deal on a dado stack for a while!
would have been cool if you gave a bit of info on what blades cut certain materials better and why you want to use specific blades for different materials and then maybe show some cuts on different materials.
Perfect timing. I need some new blades.
Phenomenal, I just bought a table saw.
Jonathan, cant thank you enough for sharing your experience with newbies like myself.
Im catching this video 8 months late, what offers are available from CMT at this time, thx again, Joe
Great video! For me I agree Freud is a great jobsite blade but is a 'throw away'. Used Forrest and CMT for years for trim work/cabinetry. Both resharpen multiple times. Something to look out for...the person that resharpens your blade. That's why I use Forrest blade service. Not only do they resharpenand set the rake but also retention the blade even weld new teeth if needed. The grind is perfect like brand new. They will also do other manufacturers. Even though more expensive that's why I lean toward Forrest for fine finish. Check out their service. Thx for vid and your usual spot on presentation
Freud makes different grades (lines) of blades, the Diablo being the lower but more affordable line (still can be sharpened).
Make sure your sharpening service isn't just over grinding your blades to sell you new ones.
My Freud 8" safety dado is a very nice long lasting set, check out more of their products.
Love your vlogs
Very informative, great video 👍
Incredible job great teacher
2:04 "copper is not a good conductor of heat" actually copper is an amazing conductor of heat, one of the best commonly available materials for conducting heat with specialty materials like diamond being one of the few that conducts heat better. There's a reason why COPPER heat pipes are used in any high quality heat sink for your computer. Aluminum is only ever used because it's cheaper than copper but even aluminum doesn't conduct heat as well as copper.
I learned a lot! Thank you!
I know I'm late to the party here, but just catching up on all your videos, great stuff!! Can you do maybe a quick video specifically on dado sets? I noticed there are different diameter blades for dados as well as many other combinations that I don't know much about. Looking to make some box joints and other dados for cabinets and not sure what the best selection(s) would be. Keep up the good work!
Good video 👍 . I bought Freud and diablo blades for my table saw ( each for different cutting) a huge difference frome the cheap one that came with the table!!! And i bought a blade to my mitre saw from DeWalt ( i saw the Amazon reviews) it wasn't expensive but it had good reviews and from what I'm using it have clean cuts also much better than the blade that came with the mitre saw. Where i live we don't have a variety of brands and the possibility to s by sharp the blade is not available. Love all your content !! Be 💪, take care !!
Great information to know.......thanks!
Perfect timing I needed a dado stack and go one from them for only $12 more than home depots red set that’s a great deal
I just bought all three CMT blades based on your recommendation. If they suck, I know where you live! Actually, I don't, but they better be good. Thanks (I think).
Have to agree 100%. Yours is the best blade buying advice on you tube. Have grown tired of watching so many vids pushing cheap blades like low end Freud, Saxton and others. Bought cheap blades and generally things like run out was good but teeth were no more than 5 or 6mm in size, not really resharpenable and never lasted that long. In the uk, CMT chrome industrial series seem the best vfm and are decent blades starting at around £60. Night and day better made to any cheap blade and with more meat in the teeth and superior coatings.
They’re sold out of a few things, but I bought the 24 tooth 8” dado set and the blade cleaner. I price checked amazon and your link wound up being a little cheaper. Thanks!
Also, thanks for the Codes. Have used them a bunch of times!
Wow, how educational!
thankyou Katz great info . me poor head hurts now must lay down . stay safe
Man, another "go to" video was wrapped up again. So much knowledge dude, thanks a lot.
I went from Forrest to Tenyru years ago...and haven't had even a flicker of desire to go back. I use the Gold Medal version for GP and a CMT for ripping.
Wow. What an excellent video.
Great video. One thing though - copper transfers heat much better than steel. That is why it is used in heat exchangers.
Thanks for another great video! I'm looking at creating a new lineup of blades for my TS. What's your go to blade if you need a flat top grind? I'm thinking stuff like finger joints or half laps or tenon's. Thanks!!
This is Tony (Legacy Furniture LLC) from Sacramento. Katz, bro, I hope you know how much your video helps people.
I’m in the UK but this has been dead useful thank you.
Great advise! I started with the Diablo line and they are good for a homeowner that uses their saws occasionally. I upgraded to a Freud Industrial 30 Glue-Line and there was a massive difference in quality. You can absolutely get a (true) Freud sharpened. That said, while the cut was great, it dulled faster than I thought it should. I have since upgraded to a Forrest WWII and holy cow. Incredible cut, I just hope it stays sharp longer. BTW: Forrest actually recommends setting the blade height to the top of the stabilizer, it helps keep the blade cool. I used to always set the height to the bottom of the gullet.
Forrest blades are incredible and well worth the money.
As a point of accuracy, a non-carbide ripping blade does not have a flat top grind and the teeth are also slightly offset. Example is my Sears Craftsman 27 tooth Chromedge ripping blade that is not carbide tipped. I recently bought a bottle of the CMT blade cleaner. It works well but it does remove some of the red paint from my Freud blades...FYI.
I have an old 70s 9" saw. Upgraded from a contractor saw that had a warped aluminium table it off the box. I got a Freud Industrial combination ABTR that had a coating ( silver not red ). Forest has 9" blades but CMT doesn't. I clean my blades with liquid laundry detergent. I soak my blades for 15-20 minutes in hot water with about 50ml of laundry detergent - single pod or a shot glass filled. The pitch will wipe off with a paper towel. Some of the pitch is stubborn on the tooth face so a gentle wipe with a scotch brite pad gets it.
