February 6, 20188 yr comment_139715 Which Frued blade would be comparable to the Forest WoodworkerII? Report
February 7, 20188 yr comment_139748 All of mine need sharpening but I have an old 410 series and it is great. I also have the glueline rip which is also good. These are at 20 years old and I have never used a Forest so cannot actually compare. Do not worry too much about the saw blades since I mostly turn so I can turn away saw marks. Yes I am a baaad boy and should have sharpened them years ago. Report

February 7, 20188 yr comment_139764 Like Stick said it's the 400 series, a Freud F410. I have one that's probably 20 years old, along with a WWII (that's not quite that old) and I can't tell the difference between them as far as cutting performance goes. Report

February 7, 20188 yr comment_139802 Should have let me know sooner, Gene I would have taken them off your hands, I love my red blades. But then again I don't do as fine of work as you do. Those rifle cases you build are top shelf. Herb Report

As to the blades, No doubt Freud makes some good blades. They just don't cut... ON MY SHOPSMITH... as well as the Tenryus do. Report

Hmmmmmmmm, I went looking for the 410 series just to compare prices. I couldn't find the 410 available anywhere . The 412 is still available. Actually, the only 40 tooth combo Freud blades I found were thin kerf blades. Am I missing something ? Report
February 8, 20188 yr comment_139855 Thanks Herb. The price comparison is ; Freud $87.99, Forrest $188.95. Is one Forrest blade worth more than 2 Freud blades.I compared the prices on Amazon. Report

February 8, 20188 yr comment_139864 One thing about this discussion, I didn't know Feud had such a variety of blades, seems like there is a blade for every type of cut and saw, not like it used to be ,one blade does all. Herb Report
February 8, 20188 yr Author comment_139872 Thanks all. The Forest blade I have now wasn't the quality I was expecting. I want to give Freud a try. Report
