Hav recommendation as to what kind of blade I should normally have in
my TS?

For a long time I used a Freud Diablo 80T. It is not designed for ripping,
but it worked and made a smooth cut. I still have it (been sharpened) and
will use it for plywood if I have more than a cut or two.

Now I have a Ridge Carbide 40T combination and it is excellent. If I was
buying a new blade today, I'd go for the Ridge Carbide, Infinity Tools, or a
Forrest WWII. Right now, Infinity has a price advantage. Check out their
web sites for more information. One good combination blade will do 85% to
98% of what most of us use a table saw for.
