Broke out the old table saw and put a new blade on it. Been over 10 years since it had new teeth. I wanted long length 1x4 furring strips which McCoys doesn't have. They only sell 1x2 and 2x2 in 8' lengths. Ripping 2x4s was my best option and cheaper than buying their standard 1x4s. 76,99,76, .23",B
Wicked looking blade. Might be of the devil.
ReplyDeleteanti-kickback, like that blade design, is always good

Appreciate the pics and discussion, John and remmij. Am trying to minimize kickback potential from my old Delta Rockwell table saw from the 50s. Nice heavy tool but made before riving knifes were common (possibly made from WWII battleship plate?). No place on the shaft arbor to mount one. I like that blade!
ReplyDeletefor many years, one of these was a "good friend"… kinda depends on what the jobs are, but this worked in many situations

coupled with this
one I used was just a splitter… kind of a fin - no curvey hook…
just an idea…
right blade does make a difference too
avoiding speed, paying attention/thinking & not working in a rush/tired… help as much as anything - imho
You could probably sharpen the old one up a bit with a 'stone' for tungsten carbide. Cheers
ReplyDeleteIt would only make sense to learn how to sharpen the blades if I used my table saw every day.
