Anyone out there had much experience with either of these. I'm getting
a new combination blade and have gotten various opinions from people I
know. Its between the Freud "Cabinet Maker" and the CMT "General".
I'm trrying to stay away from Forrest because of the cost. Also I have
had several people recommend the Dewalt "Woodworker" blade. Any
thoughts?


I have used all of them and put the Dewalt in a category below the Freud and
CMT. I think that Forrest is the best and also the best value for high-end
work. If you are trying to get repeatable, highly accurate work I would
spend the extra money for the Forrest. If you are not that exacting buy one
of the other blades. I would also look at the Ridge Carbide products.
