    Default Recommendations for 12"/305mm t/s blades

    I recently took deliver of a new table saw.

    https://www.timbecon.com.au/sherwood...inet-table-saw

    Set up and used, so far so good.

    Would anyone like to make blade brand recommendations that are affordable by people who haven't won tatts, please.
    I say that because I know the sky is the limit as far as price goes.

    I am aware of Diablo, Torquata, Freud, CMT; but would like some thoughts on brand and type - EG: GP, cross cut, rip.
    Any comments most welcome.

    thanks
    Keith

    I find that I rarely use 12" blades on my saw as 10" is more than adequate for most purposes. I do have 12" rip and crosscut blades, but they're used exclusively for breaking larger stock down rather than finish cutting. Consequently when I do use a 12" blade they're generally lifted to full cutting height, might be just me but they're scary. If you were talking about a panel saw the size wouldn't worry me at all. As far as blades go Freud is my brand of choice.

    Thanks for the Freud recommendation.
    I do have some good 10" blades that I'm keeping.
    Just looking for info for future blade purchases as needed,
