Bosch Optiline table saw blades
Does anyone have any comments regarding the Bosch Optiline saw blades.
I'm looking to get a finer cut 10" blade for my saw table, a 60t or 80t blade and these seem like a good middle price range option.
Hopefully a link to the blade...

Depending on the saw you have, you will need to get a blade bushing for each blade. Despite the implication on the packaging that they include a set of bushings the two I bought only had one bushing, the thinnest one (30>25mm?) and I have a saw with a 16mm spindle.
I have yet to use these blades, they were bought for a project that is stalled due to lack of enthusiasm.

I ended up getting a 10" 60t blade late this afternoon and just had time to do a couple of quick cross cuts. My spindle is a 1" or 25.4 and the blade came with 2 reducers for it's 30mm arbour. One takes it down to 25.4 and another to 25 so no problems fitting it.
The cross cut produced a beautifully shiny finish so pretty happy with that compared to the 40t blade that was in there. Blade ran quietly. Will need to do a few rip tests to see how it goes. Might be a bit slower than the 40t blade but hopefully a good result.

been using the 80t for a while now in my 10inch tablesaw great for crosscuts ripping have to take it slow but good results have found the optiline very good for the price
Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they
bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs .

I'm looking for a replacement blade for a 12" contractor saw. I'm expecting to only really use it for ripping. I notice the 305mm Optiline is available in 40, 60 and 120 teeth versions.
How much difference would I find between using a 40 and a 60 tooth blade?

Dear Fuzzie,
I have got exactly that blade - ie. the Optiline 12" x 40 tooth - and I use it for ripping. It's a very Good Thing for the money (t'was $45 from Glenfords...). Don't get the 60 tooth. It will be too many teeth. And my saw is a direct-drive Site Saw (as in 2950rpm), so if yours is belt-drive (as in more rpm than mine), you'll have even more reason than me to not get the 60 toother! Less is better with Ripping...
Best Wishes,
Batpig.
