    Does it matter if it says "Trim/Finish" ?

    That is an ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) blade, I would consider it pretty ordinary though. The tooth shape is actually more of what I would expect to see on a rip blade. Have a look here to get a better idea of what blade is best for which purpose - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLGqGWFvIUs

    To better understand tooth shapes and configurations have a look here - Saw Tip Angles Explained

    Using the correct, quality, blade makes an incredible difference to the quality of the cut. It's the difference of being able to glue up panels straight off the saw or having to go to the jointer after the saw and before the glue-up. With a very good crosscut blade you don't need to 'shoot' end grain. Having said all that there are forum members who swear by their preferred choice of combination blade, and I'd have to agree that some of them do a very good job with most, but not all, woods.

    Getting too late to focus after a 5am wake up.

    Bit tricky at the best of times.

    I need a simple app that asks the questions.
    Then tells me what and where.

    Keeping it simple, from the Freud range:
    Good for ripping and crosscutting - https://www.amazon.com/Freud-LU84R00...FZ4ZFN2R151RK1
    Excellent for crosscutting (don't know why they would call this a ripping blade?) -https://www.amazon.com/Freud-Tooth-Crosscutting-Ripping-LU88R009/dp/B00004T7PR/ref=pd_bxgy_469_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00004T7PR&pd_rd_r=P6K547W7SSEBDT09SH3V&pd_rd_w=n2Ncc&pd_rd_wg=Cz3n9&psc=1&refRID=P6K547W7SSEBDT09SH3V
    Excellent for ripping - https://www.amazon.com/Freud-LU87R00...901296C2GRM0XW

    There are other good brands out there that have similar products in their range. I like Freud (can you tell?) because of the quality of their product and the noise suppression features they have. That's a whole other subject though!

    all my cross cutting is done on my makita drop saw.

    Is the 22 teeth the secret for excellent ripping?

    Yes, that tooth count and geometry (flat top tooth) is excellent for ripping. There are even more specialist ripping blades available, but possibly not in the size you need.

    Wouldn't take it off either.

    Moved to the copper colored wheel brush.
    Took it off.
    Was careful about holding it there too long.

    Took forever.
    The best saw cleaning method - removes gum, kino, sap, latex, prevents rust as a bonus - is diesel. Spray it on, let it soak in a bit... and most of the gunk will just wipe off, though if the deposits are heavy sometimes it might take a few sprays to get them to soften up.

    Barry, one other factor you may wish to consider is the kerf width. Many 9 1/4' blades are now thin kerf, and you will likely find as I did that if the kerf width is too thin then your stock will foul the Triton splitter upon exit. The Triton splitter assumes a kerf width of at least 3mm. I found it best to not go below 2.8mm. Some brands do not bother to list kerf width, some do.
    I bought an Irwin 95035 a while back which is 2.8mm and is fine. but now the Professional range appears to have gone thin kerf - I have one which is only 1.8mm, which I can't use in tabletop mode.
    I also bought some Bosch blades on special from a store close. One is a Bosch Optiline Wood which is 2.5mm and works OK. Item number is 2608640887.
    But two are Speedline Wood and the kerf is only 1.8mm, which I also cannot use. Numbers for these are 2608641104 and 2608642362. Bosch mark their kerf widths on the box and/or the blade.
    I did find a Medalist Professional brand going cheap that has a 2.5mm width which is OK.

    These are all 40 or 60 tooth blades, but they have their equivalents in fewer tooth blades.

    Darn!

    Yes was thinking about that off and on during my search.

    Just returned from Carba-tec with the 1.8mm one listed above.

    That listed as Suites Triton.

    Must be the saw not the table.

    grrrrr.

    Been having issues with the guard support lately anyway.
    had to allow 3mm instead of just 1mm on the back fence.
    I'm ready for an upgrade.
    been thinking about ways to remove it permanently.
