Replacement mitre saw blade - how many teeth ?
HI Folks
I have an elderly 'Performance pro' mitre/chop saw, with the original (brutal!) blade - which is 254 x 30 x 32t. It's grand for chopping up 4x2 for roof supports - but lacks finesse for 'posh' work. I want to get a decent (square) cut edge on some laminate flooring - so was looking for a replacement blade with finer teeth. Seems that this blade can be obtained in 40t, 60t and 80t - (all on Amazon) what's recommended for general 'fine' use ? I'd appreciate your suggestions (I'll be keeping the original 32t blade for 'rough' work). Thanks Adrian |
