How beautiful, my friend, I wish I could do this kind of elaborate and beautiful work, but unfortunately I do not exist in my country. This kind of work is known to me that I am a professional carpenter and I have my employer and I have done a lot of difficult and elaborate woodwork, but unfortunately I cannot do what you do because It is not wanted in my country and I do not have the ability to do that because I have not practiced it before, even though I am a fan and follower of you on KZread ... ... my friends, is there anyone who would like to help me and send an invitation to his country so that I can practice my passion in this wood industry and I will not forget His grace is always on me, and I will always remember him and I will never forget his favor. This is my number for those who want to help me and communicate with me if they want to do good and happiness for someone like me .... my WhatsApp number +962788565844 😭😭

I’d love to see him do a round on the woodcraft class circuit. I’m sure he’d make good money and people would get a lot out of the class

my grandfather was a cabinet maker for well over 50 years (I have most of his tools). He always said buy the best tool you can afford. you'll end up spending less money in the long run, I Remember this as a boy of 7 being drilled into me.

One additional note - saw misalignment can simulate the affects of a dull blade. The CMT blades are a great value. I always buy blades in pairs, and extreme use blades in threes.... this allows me to keep my saw functional when sending blades off for maintenance, sometimes allowing me time to bundle blades to save on shipping

Great video. As a beginner it’s hard to know whether you’re wasting your money. It can also be hard to justify the expense of the more pricey brands, particularly when it comes to consumables. It’s good to have a reliable source explain that cheap blades are a false economy. I didn’t even know you could send blades to get sharpened when I first started woodworking, which just made the more expensive blades seem extortionate.

Saw blades are such an important part of woodworking and hard to know when they need sharpening at times. Thank you for your insights.

Thanks for covering this topic, high quality blades are worth it long term and not letting them get dull is key!

Man - love these deep dive videos! I upgraded to a CMT blade about 6 months ago after coming across your table saw blade review, and its been a total game changer. Cuts are cleaner, smoother, and overall improving the quality of my work. Keep the solid content coming m'man!

A lot of guys on KZread teach you how to build a project but JKM is really going to another level to improve your knowledge of our craft! Really awesome stuff!

Very informative and useful. Provocative. Looking forward to you next video on saw blades & bits. Keep up the good work! 😎

Thanks for the info, I definitely needed to hear this.

Love your energy and enthusiasm Jon ! Thanks for the videos

Very informative video. Thanks!

I really do enjoy your nerding out on all things woodwork! Clearly significant research goes into your content development and preparation. I appreciate the work you put into this, thank you.

Great coverage of this topic. Thanks for this kind of content -- in addition to your project videos, no less. Thumbs up!

Great video. I was getting ready to order a Forrest blade but you have never lead me wrong before so I ordered two blades that you recommended through your link. Thanks again for all you do!

This is fantastic. Just recently started digging through my dad's old collection of blades. He's got 10 different blades that I had no idea how much he used them or even how to know if they were worth sharpening. Thanks much for the great and informative video. Now to figure out if I have a local sharpening shop.

Excellent video! I recently replaced my original SawStop blade with a premium blade and found a great local blade smith to sharpen the first one to keep as a backup. Awesome job, incredibly nice folks and a short drive.

super helpful topic thanks. looking forward to part two

Just found the channel. Great stuff here!

Thanks for this deep dive on blades. I don't consider my blades consumables because as you said they can be sharpened 8 or more times so for me many years of use. Consumable to me is a year, maybe 18 months. Being on the east coast I use RIDGE Carbide as my sharpening service and also use their blades along with Forrest blades.

This was super informative, keep up the good work. Hows the thumb injury?

Sir your channel really deserves a million subcribers. Your video it's so inspiring and worth Watching...Love from india

I was having some issues with my hand circular saw. Come to find out it only had a few teeth on a the blade😳 I make a habit of checking my blades now. Thanks for this video. I have some new info to use in my checks. 👍

Good info. I’ve been wanting to try the 3M cubitron sandpaper

Fantastic video, Jonathan! Thanks a lot! 😃 I'm going to keep an eye in mine! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I need this for bandsaw blades!

Awesome!

Oh kitty kat. You always make great videos. 1 fact I didn't hear in this video is the impact the blade makes on the motor. Cheap blade put more stress on the motor = motor burn out. Side note, I want to be you when I grow up.....

thanks

One thing that I was told by the shop owner where I take my blades for sharpening is that if you run your saw blades until they are totally dull, then they have to grind away more of the carbide to transform them. Net effect is fewer sharpening per blade. Blades that are removed from service sooner, at the first sign of getting dull, and sharpened, will last longer. He also said that blades that are cleaned regularly will run cooler and stay sharp longer.

There's a lot in a top quality saw blade. I once used a thin kerf blade in my worm drive skill saw once, never again. Even with a stabilizer installed, that blade wobbled severely. As for brands of blades, I've tried a Forrest blade, still prefer my Freud blades though. I always get a better cut with them, even over the Forrest blade. Great video, looking forward to seeing the sharpening process video. Cheers :)

for the price, Amana Tool blades can't be beat. CMT has good options too. (Theatrical and staging fabrication)

I discovered that a company maybe an hour away does carbide sharpening, AND they have a guy who makes a weekly run to my city! He'll come right to my door! No shipping. No BS. Anyway, thanks for this. I have only one CMT blade, along with couple "mid range" blades, and have way too many cheap ones. I've never done a cost comparison, and so now I know that I've been....less than clever? Shall we say? I'm going to go with the "buy once, cry once" more often now. Great video.

I kind of want to see you compare a tension vs non tension blade cuts. Might make for a cool slo mo video.

absolutely love what you do can watch and rewatch your content for hours. getting one of your aprons for Fathers day. If my business gets going I fell I'll owe some to all the information I've received from you and some others. One question thats been bugging me for months. Are you in anyway related to Jimmy Kimmel? lol

Nice work Jonathan! I just ordered a Ridge Carbide blade. CMT will replace my Freud in a few months. Been very disappointed with that blade. Any chance the cost breakdowns would be blogged on your site?

Hi Jonathan and thanks for educational videos you provide to everyone :) They've been a great help and inspiration. I do have a question regarding table saw blades (not necessarily about sharpening though..) What kind blade would you choose if you're splitting (not cutting) hard wood species, such as oak? I have a table saw with 10" blade and would greatly appreciate any advice on this one. I have the stock 24 teeth blade but I would be willing to invest on better blades, perhaps one for general use (cutting) and one for long splitting. Thanks a lot, stay safe and keep up the awesome work you do :)

Hi JKM. Great video. I love your channel, own and use one of your stop blocks and try to support the vendors that support you. I have place two orders with Taylor tool works and their customer service has been terrible. When I call no one answers and when they finally return emails and say they’re going to send this to tech support no one ever gets back to me. I had this happen with the blade stabilizers you recommended that I purchased. I will not be using Taylor tool works for any further purchases. Just FYI for you for the vendors that you are endorsing.

Big blade wobble is called "centrifugal force " cool video very useful and informative 👍 👌

A very complete and informative video. I was surprised by the fly-away comment about Freud & Diablo. Maybe Freudtools can comment, but my understanding is that not all blades in the Freud catalogue are targeting the same user market and therefore not created equal. My guess the same goes for CMT with their four ranges of blades. Again would be interested to hear from CMT. themselves on this yopic

From the old American Woodworker, "if you are setting off the smoke alarm, that is a pretty good indicator."

I am using a Ridge Carbide TS2000 series blade. I am interested in your honest opinion of it's ranking, and good and bad points.

Lmao!!! My wife is pissed off at me for mentioning my next tool purchase: a 270 dollar jigsaw. She thinks a harbor freight POS will do just fine! Now, in her defense, the one I want is a Makita cordless brushless one, but I hate cords, and I'm limited to one single outlet in my work space, so cordless is the best option. Also, I already own Makita stuff, so it is the logical choice to stay with that brand. P.S. I only own Makita because it was given to me from a previous job, so I just stuck with that brand. I have owned Ryobi, Milwaukee, Dewalt, and Makita over the years and they all have certain things I like and don't like, but perform similar in my experience.

@@renel2196 I recently upgraded some Ryobi tools one+ tools to a nice set of Dewalt cordless tools. Damn the difference it makes, in my case (buying T-stack models in Belgium) made each tool on average 2-3 times as expensive as a ryobi equivalent. From my experience I'd say all the dewalt tools are just that slightly better and nicer to use, would I say 3 times as nice to use as ryobi? No but it's something I felt right of the bat. I ended up going with dewalt as I am working in a pro tool shop here and there were already some big Dewalt promotions going on and I got my employee discount on top. Ended up with about 3grand worth of tools and batteries having paid less than 2.

Great video, as always. How would I go about locating a place near me that sharpens saw blades? Thanks for your time. - Jonathan Trahan

Great video! I just tried to buy a CMT blade for my Dewalt jobsite tablesaw - but it doesn't look like CMT makes an 8 1/4" blade. Which of the mid-level blades would you recommend?

Good presentation. Lost me when it appeared you favor CMT blade. In any case what’s your thoughts on the Sawstop blade?

Your blade videos are steller, I use them as a reference and to show others. One area I see a lot of mistakes is using a dial indicator to measure runout and squareness to the fence. I'll bet you could make an excellent video on this topic.

Great video. I do think that one other factor to take into account is just how much you use your tablesaw / how many projects you actually make. While I did pick up a couple of those CMT blades, I also have Freud / Diablo ones, and those still work fine for me. Mainly because I only get out to the shop every other weekend, if I am lucky. Full time job and too many other hobbies. :)

I bought a thin kerf 40T CMT orange shield blade to replace the thin kerf 24T construction blade that came with my Dewalt circular saw. Working with almost exclusively plate material aka plywood 24T wasn't good. The only downside I can mention about the CMT blade is that the orange color looks a bit weird in my Dewalt saw but I got used to quick enough :P

Hey Jonathan, shot in the dark. I bought a second hand table saw and the arbor nut is torqued on so tight It might as well be welded on. I cannot loosen this nut no matter what I try... Any suggestions what I can do to get this blade changed?

Thank you. I inherited a lot of blades. I don’t know whether to keep or dump. Some are a little rusty and some have some kind of rubber on the edges. Is that what they do to protect them after sharpening? I inherited so many tools. Now. To figure out how to use them.

I saw (yes, a pun) a guy who turned the blade around so it was turning the wrong way, then he took a sharpener and let the blade spin. In seconds he stopped it and turned the blade around and tried it, it cut the wood wonderfully.

Ridge Carbide. will even make custom blades with short turn around

Great Video Jonathan, Thanks! Your content always educates and your attention to detail and in depth explanations appeal to my inner engineer. I used Diablo for a while, and then after seeing your saw blade video, I bit the bullet and picked up the 3 your recommend. I was shocked, though I shouldn't have been after watching your video, at how much easier and better they cut... and I am using an underpowered Delta 120V table saw. Question for you. I was crosscutting some 4/4 Hard Maple today on my 12" miter saw (yes, a red blade) and it was definitely dragging. I'm sure that it needs cleaning, but.... I'm wondering about just jumping in and getting a new blade for it. Do you have a recommendation for a CMT 12" blade? Is full/thin kerf an issue/consideration for a Miter Saw? My saw is an older Porter-Cable 12" and is not sliding. Thanks in advance.

The piece was smoking when I tried to rip it down to 9/16ths so I had to lower the blade and do half at a time. What was happening there? Blade seems good.
