What table saw blade you guys recommend with the thinnest kerf to mininum wise wood waste to cut like wood lams and other wood veneers
I think Dewalt or Diablo make a pretty thin blade... You may have to go down to an 8" blade...
I bought the thin Diablo blade for cutting veneered ply wood it was a decent blade but didn't last as long as the thicker ones !
I found a .061 kerf ( infinity blades) but $169 bucks....My band saw is an old Sears 80" and i normally use a Woodslicer blade ( .025 kerf) but my drift is noticeable so .. I have a gabon/maple herringbone inlay i lay up so I am trying to stretch that material for max. number of inlays it can produce.
If you have a decent bandsaw get a 6/10 VP bimetal blade. Make sure your saw is well tuned and saw veneers against the fence.
i dont.....well i dont now... it s a old sears 12" ..i half A$$ can tune it. Has that tilt table top which will fade to below 90 degrees. i guessi should replace it on my next upgrade but i have cut some wood on that racal the last 20 years
I use a big bad 12 in diablo blade on my table saw that has survived tons of abuse as I have learned to cut lumber from logs... osage. To be honest I've never considered using a thinner blade. It really seems like a good idea after all the work that goes into chopping up square lumber.
Diablo has one for circular saws that is pretty thin, I think it is called a rough lumber blade about $10 and work well. I have been using one for a good while for ripping lams.
