Default New (to me) RAS

point your browser over to www.owwm.com and you'll find some other
folks with that saw. it has a bit of a following.

what you want in a RAS blade is negative rake. that is, the leading
face of the tooth, the one that pushes flat through the wood is angled
a small few degrees back. what this does is keep the tooth from trying
to grab and climb over your board so much. otherwise tooth count and
configuration will be determined by the material to be cut, the rpm of
the saw and the horsepower of the saw.
