What blade for my new sawstop contractor saw?
Hi
In the past I have had freud, diablo, flai, dewalt,CMT just to name a few.
Chasing a decent quality combination blade.
Cheers

Recently bought a Forrest WW2 for my sawstop JS saw. Probably an overkill. Very happy with it.

I have the same saw....
don't use combo blades unless you really have to. I get alot better finishes and ease of cut (no burns) with a dedicated rip blade or cross cut. I'm using the torqcutta blades from timbecon with no issues, but i'm using a 24t rip blade and 60t cross cut.

I just decided to go with the one it comes with, 40 tooth combination.

The blade the SawStop comes with is a pretty decent all-round blade, for sure. I would say it beats some of the cheaper offerings from the major box stores.
However, if you get into various types of cuts, you will benefit from a good rip blade, crosscut blade, and if you're going to use it, a laminate/plywood blade.
Freud (through Amazon Prime), CMT (through Carbatec et al) are both worth looking at.
