Need new table saw BLADE

[LarryEA]

I need to buy new blades for my table saw and for miter saw.

Current blades are 10" with 60T.

Any recommendations as to the best place to purchase

We have the typical HomeDepot, Sears,Walmart, Harbor Crap and Lowes.

Thanks

Go to the harbor,Blades wash in now and then at a fraction of the price of the big box stores,carbide to. That's what i'm running.You have to look thru all the blades as they get mixed up from the customers.

Yes!

Paul I would prefer that...

OK, where do you(uh, me) buy that?

What do you(we) call it? Table saw sharpener, round blade sharpener or what?

In Canada at a lot of home improvement places you can buy exchange blades and router bits You bring in your old blade and for the cost of sharpening you get one in return, I never got a bad blade from them. I would check to see if it is available where you live.

I really like the Freud (Diablo) saw blades.  Great blades, lower end of mid range in price.  You can get them at Home Depot.  I have a Woodworker II blade that doesn't cut any better than my Freud blades.

 

I don't think you buy your scroll saw blades at Harbor Frieght, I don't buy my tables saw blades from them either.  Nothing against HF, I purchase some items from them, but I wouldn't recomment some of their stuff also.

I agree I have three Frued Diablo blades, a fine rip and crosscut blades for my Bosch table saw and fine finish on my miter saw. These cut as nice as my cabinet saw ever did. My theory is less expensive saw with a great blade is the best. I put these blades on the day the saws were new and did a sample cut and you could see and feel the difference. Ripping with the new, better blade was a huge difference (Bosch May be a little underpowered)

I forgot about the saw sharpener from Harbor .I own one and sharpened all my blades with it. Nice tool but some huge wing nuts would help greatly in setting it up instead of wrenches.It uses a tile saw diamond blade to sharpen carbide and a stone wheel for non carbide blades.I like it but it needs refining to make it a great tool, which you can do yourself.

Thanks Kevin for the information.

Never really felt like I had the right touch to use a sharpener. I like the Freud blade because I can get enough years use out of one to make me not have to tell a whopper to my wife to justify buying a new one. We don't have a Harbor Freight, so it's either Home Depot or Lowes for me.

Sigmond here I come.  Probably buy blade then search for sharpener.
