Today we take a comprehensive look at the Top 6 Table Saw Blades and when to deploy them using 60,000 FPS slow motion video. We rented the Phantom TMX 7510 and got some insane footage that helped us really break down why you use each blade and show exactly what the benefits and drawbacks are to each one. I will give you a guide on which blades I use and when. By the end of watching this video you will have a complete understanding of each of the blades you will use 99.9% of the time.

Thin Kerf VS Full Kerf Thin is better if your saw has less than 1.5 HP. If your saw is more than 1.5hp get the Full Kerf. A Thin Kerf blade is great to have in the arsenal regardless for those times you want to save as much wood as possible. Also great for preserving exposed joinery and grain match when removing box lids.
Ripping Blade 24T The best for rip cuts and terrible at crosscuts. My most used blades.
Crosscut Blade 60T/80T Fantastic for crosscuts but terrible at rip cuts. Low or negative rake makes them great in the Miter Saw or for fine cuts in plywood.
General Purpose Blade 40T Great all around blade for non repetitive cuts in wood UNDER 1.25”. Great for shop jigs and plywood.
Combination Blade 50T Great all around blade for non repetitive cuts up to 2 and 1/8” inch thick. Not good for plywood though.
Dado Stack Best for dados, grooves, rabbets, half laps, bridal joints, and hogging out material when you’re not cutting all the way through.

I'm still undecided on which to get...I can only afford one right now...sigh. @KatzMosesTools Tamar 3x3 customs speaks highly of you so you are part of my research. I see blades with slice or openings every so far along...it's my understanding it's to help cool the blade. If I have a blade with none...is it safe to make my own thin spaces or cut outs? If so is there a particular shape or size and how deep would I go? I inherited a bunch of blades from an uncle when he passed away.
One of the writers for the old American Woodworker, when asked how do you know when your blade is dull commented, "if you are setting off the smoke alarms, that is a pretty good indicator."

The slow-mo cam footage is amazing. I can now visualize the cutting process and get a better idea of what blade to use.
We used to rent the high speed camera for failure analysis. They are awesome. Nice to see it used in educating others.
"... the shims come in at anything from very very thin to a little bit thicker..." - Probably my favourite sentence in the whole video. You've got a great presentation style Jonathan it its just how I would describe such things. Love it.
Just started doing simple Shaker cabinet doors and you've already helped out a bunch. I watched your tips for new woodworkers and learned why my tongue and grooves weren't consistent from entry side to the exit side. Doing them in 3 passes removing a little material at a time made gave me perfect results. No more hogging for me!
I just purchased a week ago the CMT full kurf Gen purpose and the thin kurf combo from your and your store is extremely easy to follow and understand what each blade is used for. Extremely satisfied, definitely recommend you to everyone for blades.
Glad to hear you’re doing better. Also like the fact that you’re selling these on your website. You’re the reason I bought my first blade from CMT. It’s been a great to work with and I plan on buying more but this time from you to support the channel! Keep up the great work!
That footage is a game changer and your depth of detail on this subject is the most educational video yet! Bravo good sir!
Great info, and awesome shots. Thanks. Glad you are feeling better, and returned.
Great break down for each type of blade, thanks for all the info. I would love to see more of the slow mo videos, maybe something between the different types of blades or cutting edge.
Welcome back! Love to have you back and cutting wood verrrrrry slowly
Dude that is some awesome slow motion footage, lovin it. I learn so much here. I had no idea the cmt blades were that affordable, might have to pick some up when I order my apron.
Great video on multiple fronts. - lots of good info! - great slow mo, besides being cool, it really helps understanding what our blades are doing. I agree on the premium blade being a consideration. I have both a CMT crosscut (IIRC at your suggestion a while ago) and a Ridge Carbide rip blade. Love them.
Great video Jonathan. Lots of great information for us. I wish I could hear as fast as you talk, though. I will need to watch this video about three more times to feel like I got everything. Thanks for sharing it. I'm a fan of CMT blades and will be using then exclusively from now on.
Jonathan, I'm glad you are back and healthy. Thank you for the great information; well done!
Was wondering where you'd been, glad you're healthy now. Great video, always love learning this stuff and the slo-mo is crazy.
Thanks for providing such extensive explanations on this topic, you're a leader in this community! Love seeing Danny "Kickback" DeVito in the shop
one of the best explanations I've ever seen about blades. greetings from Brazil
I just received my Fine Woodworking magazine. Imagine my surprise to see a tool I purchased from you several years ago that I use very often. Congratulations on being included in the “Dovetail guide section “. I have found it to be an excellent tool at a reasonable price.
Now do the same video with bandsaw blades- different sets, tpi, width, tensions, etc. That's one episode. Then do the same with jigsaw blades. Another episode. Finally do the same with scroll saw blades. Another episode. You already understand pictures (high speed video) are worth a thousand words....

Terrific review. I am shopping for 10 inch sawblades and this review has been very helpful, thank you.
Great video. Great Information. Awesome human. Miss ya KM!
Excellent presentation! Well presented, a few frames of slow motion conveys more information and knowledge than a half hour of verbal explanation. If other power tools presentations use this format and level of research into the subject at hand you may set a high bar for others to achieve and likely raise the level of an entire industry.
Cool footage. I also love CMT, Amazing quality. Great info in this video.
Great show. I like the speed and clarity
I bought one of the cmt blades you recommended from the video back when you went to the blade sharpening place. I previously had a Freud cause I thought it was close enough to good. The difference in cut quality is more than night an day. I just can't even believe how much better of a blade it is. It feels like my saw gained an extra HP or something. The cuts feel less dangerous cause I'm not pushing the cut through, it's just gliding through instead. It is seriously a big deal everyone should invest in.

I wish I could pin this comment. It's the absolute truth! Thanks for sharing my friend! Side note: the brother who designed the Freud blades started the CMT line just 4 years ago. Since coming on board he's been awarded more than 10 patents for blade technology. He's done all the things Freud wouldn't let him do because they wanted to keep costs down.
fantastic video! thank you for the guide.
This video made me realize that I'm stupidly using a combination blade on my miter saw. I just ordered a nice CMT crosscut blade from your shop. Thanks!
Great info - thanks for sharing knowledge.
So many woodworkers are so old school, which in a way I love. But I also love how modern and tech savvy you are, to the point to where you really do know a lot about pro video production like you actually work in film production! Great stuff man

Best you have done, thank you. New technology provides new information. Expecting you to review all the various saw brands is silly. We now have a good picture of what the blades do.
Ive been framing for 25 years and never really put much thought into blades other than what i thought was thin kerf is best ive been using a Diablo 24 tooth for years now but i just bought a 60 tooth saw blade for some architectural concrete forming ive been doing and i love it so im here to learn what blades are best for what.
Great content!
Great video!!! Thank you!!
Great information !!
Nice video. When I started with my JSS Pro (1.5HP) from SawStop, I purchased several quality thin kerf blades just to discover that they caused pinching between the riving knife and the fence, so I switched over full kerf blades (CMT Chrome & Amana Electro-Blu) and all my problems went away.
Feed speed (how fast you push the wood) and the great slow motion video would be great to see. Glad you back and doing well.
Thank You for your explanation and I do agree that spending more can often cost less

Another fantastic video! Something that could be beneficial is to talk about riving knives with different thickness blades as well? Just a thought, keep up the great work 👍👍
Good information, thank you for sharing with us! Enjoyed seeing the show motion shots showing how each blade acts. While watching, I looked over your shoulder and saw nick cage in a shop apron, when did that happen?
I’ve actually started using 7-1/4” blades on my table saw full time, until I need to make a full depth cut. But 99% of the time I’m cutting 1-1/2” or less thick material and the 7-1/4” are cheaper, thinner, easier on my saw, and quieter. And cheaper 😁
Glad to see you back and healthy
Love me CMT for my router bits and saw blades.
Great to see your face pop up in my feed! Glad you are feeling better.
Great stuff
We need a sawblade brand shootout like the sandpaper test! It would hard to do, but I know you could do an awesome job at it. Go all out and put the winner in your store 😝
Awesome video. One thing to add though, the difference in the plate thickness on the thin kerf VS thick kerf and how that can influence stability of the blade. Forrest, for instance, recommends to use a blade stiffener on the thin kerf because they can sometimes flutter due to that thinner plate.
@katzmosestools
2 жыл бұрын
In my personal experience a blade stiffener severely limits your cutting depth and doesn't have a noticeable effect in my opinion. I could certainly see a use for it in some harder woods but I used one for about a year because someone recommended it and then once I took it off I never went back.
@AggieTreed
2 жыл бұрын
@@katzmosestools I definitely agree with it limiting the depth of cut. I have one and never use it, but I also only use full kerf blades since I have the Industrial Sawstop. It'd be interesting to see if there are situations where you could cause the flutter and compare one with and one without the stiffener. Maybe it is just snake oil, idk
Great info as usual. I need to watch again and take notes. I've got an old (80's vintage) Craftsman 12" direct drive table saw and have always been torn about buying 10" blades for it, feeling like I'm cheating myself out of the extra radius. Thinking rationally about it, the only time it would make a noticable difference is if I'm trying to resaw or otherwise cut through extra thick materials, so I probably shouldn't feel bad about using the smaller blades. Do you have any thoughts about this? Is there anything else I might be missing out on by using blades smaller than the capacity of the same? Thanks for sharing!
The amount of dead pixels on that slow mo camera is incredible 🤣 fantastic video man!! 😉😉🍺
I think this video is going to cost me a lot of money 🤫 I’ve understood different blade types before but never really respected it enough to ever using anything but a combination blade, except when I’m using thin veneer plywood. I’ve used TSP to clean my Blade before and it took off all the markings, so it probably would do the same for the slick coating as well. Thanks for this in-depth look at this, Jonathan.
Jonathan... Great content, excellent teaching skills. I was wondering if you could suggest an overall / all around CMT ripping blade for my 2hp DeWalt contractor table saw (DWS7491) , and an overall / all around cross cut CMT blade for my 12" DeWalt miter saw? Just want to start my collection and need your help. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
Every cmt blade I have had has been amazing
I found a CMT dado stack at a furniture builder's closeout... unfortunately I think the teeth are shot on this so I'll be using that code for sure! My first experience with CMT was this dade, even though it's shot it cut alright so I bought a 60T from woodcraft a few months ago and have loved it. Happy you're carrying them and I can support you!
That was an excellent video with a ton of information. It did seem too much too fast, probably due to editing and to cover the material.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Really interesting video, good to see the slow motion of the various blades. Also good to see that we both use the same CMT blades, I too have found them to be extremely well made! Are these also available as Infinity in the states? Some of their cutters have the same part numbers as the CMT ones?

Glad to see you are doing well, been awhile, me too, changing gears at this point, come with age I suppose. I'll be checking out you shop, perhaps I could use a new blade or two for the table saw, the miter has gotten most of the new blades of late, but in changing gears, the table saw will need a new set, plus with be researching your collection of blafe and bit sharpening job shops! Safety first, last, and in between, provides for happy fabrications! PS. Well damn the bad luck, guess I have to make a 150 mile round trip you're sold out of the blades I like to use! ...maybe next time!

Not a comment but a table saw question. I have a Grizzly cabinet saw with a right tilting blade. Is it safe to cut a 60 degree angle with the fence on the right side of the blade.
I've been working with hardwood a lot more lately and this information makes a lot of sense now. Bought a big ass piece of purple heart, maple and cherry recently. Each 8-9' long, 3" thick, 8-10" wide. Do not recommend repetitive rip cuts on 2" purple heart using a delta 76-725 on a 15 amp circuit with an 80 tooth crosscut blade. Picked up a CMT 201.024.10 for this type of work and while I have not had a chance to use it due to being sick from the plague, I'm excited to see what it's all about. Hoping it speeds things up! 🙏

Great tutorial! Questions on the use of thin kerf blades... Do you find it a benefit to use (a) blade stabilizer(s) with them to reduce possible wobble? Are they worth the expense? Also... any benefit to placing a spacer/shim between the thin kerf blade and saw arbor, so that the blade to fence distance remains the same as that for a full kerf? I assume switching between thin and full causes the saw fence scale to be thrown off by the difference between the blades (meaning you may have to re-adjust the fence scale each time because the cut distance changes). Just looking for help before I investigate further. Tx!
@katzmosestools
2 жыл бұрын
I have never found a stabilizer to make a noticeable difference. It is way thicker that the 1/32 difference between a full and thin and cause you to lose a lot.of cutting capacity. You DON'T want to put it between the motor and the blade. The correct side is the nut side. Will cause all sorts of problems with the riving knife and the drive shaft.

What about shimming the thin kerf blade to make the right side of the blade align with a full kerf (again, so the blade to fence cut distance does not change)?

Question... Doesn't the tip do all of the cutting? I was comparing the shot at 13:33 and the tips of both look to stick up about the same amount above the metal body. I'm imagining this is where the sharpening mostly occurs? Alternatively sharpening is grinding the face and the CMT looks thicker on that direction but not by a ton. Could you put this extra carbide in practical terms? Like n sharpenings at $x vs buying a new blade? I've never had a blade sharpened so I don't know. On one hand, seems like more carbide is better... On the other I thought "huh, adding more carbide that doesn't actually do any cutting just to say there's more carbide would be a slick marketing technique."
Excuse me if this is a dumb question, but I am new to woodworking and do I need to change riving knives when going from full kerf to thin kerf blades?
