The blades are a concern. Anybody know how long they last on
hardwoods? I'm using mostly walnut, sugar maple and cherry. I don't
think DeWalt makes carbide blades for it. Could I get third-party
carbide blades?

I am very happy with this one:http://www.amazon.com/Delta-22-580-1...-Volt/dp/B0000....

I don't do a lot of hogging, it is more for sizing with a respectable
finish. The lock prevents most of the sniping.
After trying both the DeWalt and the Delta, the finish was the same,
so it was a price issue.

I forgot...you can get carbide blades for these from a variety of
suppliers.


When you say "for these" do you mean specifically for the Delta or the
Delta AND the DeWalt? I check out the delta, no need to spend more
than I have to...
