I would love to tell you that one table saw blade is all you'll ever need, but it's just not the efficient way to do things. I will say that you can do almost everything with the two blades shown above. Our 010-024 Ripping Blade is perfect for any ripping task in solid wood. The second blade is our 010-050 Combo Max combination blade. This blade is great for cross-cutting solid wood and will still provide a very nice cut if used for ripping.
Let's look at the ripping blade first. The 010-024 Ripping blades (also available as a thin-kerf 010-124) are prized for their smooth rip cuts by cabinet shops and serious home woodworkers alike. They produce smooth, with-the-grain cuts in a multitude of materials including softwood, hardwood, particleboard, standard plywood, and even tricky veneered plywood. Each Infinity Tools brand saw blade is given our exclusive Chrome Armor coating. This tough and durable Chrome coating extends the life of your blade by preventing rust and eliminating pitch and resin build-up.
They feature a Flat Top Grind with 20° of Rake Angle for fast and efficient ripping that leaves a glue ready finish on your stock. The T.K. Ripping Blade (010-124) is an excellent choice for saws with less than 3 h.p. or when removing a minimal amount of material is important.
Our 10" x 50 tooth Combo-Max saw blades are prized for their smooth ripping and crosscutting in a multitude of materials including softwood, hardwood, particleboard, standard plywood, and even tricky veneered plywood.
They feature an (ATB-R) Grind with four 15° Alternate Top Bevel teeth plus one Chamfered Raker tooth. This “Combo” is extremely durable and stands up to even the toughest cutting jobs in MDF and melamine. The T.K. Comb-Max blade (010-150) is an excellent choice for saws with less than 3 h.p. or when removing a minimal amount of material is important.
The cut, above, shows the crips exit and square bottom cut with this "combination" blade. Not bad at all for a Jack of all trades!
With these two blades, you table saw cutting needs will be expertly met. Look for the 2 Pc. Essential Saw Blade Set to save on these two blades.
