Here you go. 250mm diameter, 3.2mm kerf, flat top grind, $50. And it's in stock. You'll need a bushing:

I bought the 300mm version for cutting slots in boxes for inserting splines. Works very well.

I haven't done any crosscut trenching Chief. However, I have done a small amount of crosscutting with it when I was too lazy to change the blade back to my usual crosscut blade and I didn't see any tearout. The blade is new and razor sharp, so that might be why. I reckon for $50+postage it's worth having one of these anyway. The TC teeth are quite generous, so you would get a lot of sharpenings out of it.

The blade I commonly use for trenching cuts and hogging away waste from tenon cheeks is a 300mm diameter ripping blade from Timbecon. It has a flat top. However, the very aggressive hook angle can give a fair amount of tear out when crosscutting (I overcome this easily enough without having to fart around with scoring cuts or masking tape). The Torquata blades I have are generally very poorly balanced, which on my saw results in a harmonic whine if the blade is allowed to spin freely without cutting anything for about 12 seconds. It doesn't affect the cut quality. I'd say it is kind of annoying, but I'd be lying. It damn annoying, but the cheapskate in me prefers to spend less and whine more

Hey Tiff, I reckon calling one the pro blade suppliers in the new year would be the go. I've used Henry bros and Brisbane saw service in the past with good results.
When I had a 10" saw Henry bros sold me a no name German crosscut blade that was excellent and around 1/2 the price ( with a bushing tacked in ) of a comparable CMT blade.

Hi CT. Do you have a saw sharpening company local to Bundaberg? The mob I use down here could supply and grind a blade to whatever specs you want.

We do; however they are pretty pedestrian and I don’t have much faith in them. I’ve decided to give Henry Brothers a call after the NY; they’ve been recommended twice in this thread alone. Pity they don’t have an email contact address though; that’s my preferred contact method for all enquiries .
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.
