Default 8" blade recommendation

I rip a lot of 2 by stock (white pine) and I'd like to upsize the
blade. I like my Diablo 40 tooth 7 1/4" but it is a hair too small on my
Sears "cut your fingers off" radial arm.

I've got a variety of old carbides in 8" and 10", but I've grown to like
the narrow kerf.

What's decent on a budget? I'm in a big city, Atlanta, so I have a
number of places to shop.


It's not thin kerf, but I really like the Freud Glue Line rip blade. I
got mine at Woodcraft in Alpharetta but I think all four WW stores in
the area carry them. I don't trust thin kerf but I'm not using it on
a stump maker, either. ;-)
