Default Rip saw, how many teeth

More teeth = smoother cut. Less teeth = rougher cut, but more speed & less power to do it. The upside of more teeth is it can be good enough to do all jobs, though ripping will be slower. Any blade can manage 1.4cm.

Aldi just had some triple chip discs for 3.99 each.
