| I've been away from woodworking too long. Can someone please tell me how many teeth should be on a 10" blade, maybe an 8", too?
Thanx, Don |

| It depends on what you're going to do with the blade. A dedicated rip blade may have as few as 24 teeth while a fine cross cut blade may have 80 teeth. Combination blades fall in the middle with 40-50 teeth. |
|
| And use carbide tipped blades. While they cost a little more, they maintain an edge longer than the old steel blades. Fine Woodworking & Wood magazine run blade tests periodically. Freud, CMT, Amana, Oldham, Forrest, and many others all make decent blades. |

| & my fingers don't work either. I would have sworn I asked about ripping blades! DUH! |
