Woodworking - Selecting Saw Blade Quality and Features

[JeffJ1974]

Freud blades are ok,however if those slots which are also on the middle of the plate has well if the blade gets bent isn't near impossible to get the blade straight. Most steel blades also have tensioning rings in them which help your sharpening vendor hammer/tension the blades true, those Freud do not and those thin kerf blades will bend easier than standard blades esp.when ripping.
