Howdy Ian
I have considered these before and while the may be the bee's knees for glue ups I have my concerns that a plane or ROS will be needed to prepare the surface for a finish ... I mostly use shellac or wax finishes.
I might give one a go to prove itself when Im due for my next rip blade.
Thanks for the info
Rob

If you get other blades for the saw ensure they are the same kerf as the supplied blade it comes with. If you go thinner then you will have to get a thin riving knife/splitter to suit that blade. Not always an easy thing to do.

I received a couple of days ago two forrest blades the 10" Woodworker II 48 teeth and the 10" Woodworker II 30 teeth and I can confirm these are the best blades I've ever used on a table saw.

a "standard" or "full" kerf is 1/8" or 3.2 mm.
"thin" kerf is typically 3/32" or 2.4 mm.
The UK Manual for your saw advises:
Max blade diameter 260 mm, Min blade diameter 230 mm -- which means you can also use 235 mm (9-1/4") blades.
Saw plate thickness 1.9 mm or less
Kerf (the width cut by the blade's teeth) 2 mm or more.
A thin kerf blade removes less material than a full kerf blade placing less stress on the saw's motor.regards from Alberta, Canada

I'm sure this won't be the last "one more thing"
I'm not sure I'd be cutting old palings with a USD $150 Forest Woodworker combination blade. I think I'd be reaching for a less costly, more "disposable" blade from the Green Shed. Old palings are likely to be impregnated with lots of dust and dirt which would quickly blunt a good blade.regards from Alberta, Canada
