I am looking for the thinnest kerf 10" saw blade. Freud has a few at .090
and .091 but was wondering if there is something thinner in a combination
blade.

The thinnest I know of is about 1/16 (0.063). The one I had was
Japanese...don't recall the manufacturer but Hitachi makes them too.
Don't know if they are available in combo, mine was ATB.

Have you tried these at .050

Wow. That's thin - and you get a full 2 5/8" depth on some. I've
never seen them before. Thanks for the link.

Without spending a lot of money, you can just use a smaller blade for
most things. When I need a thin kerf on my 10" tablesaw, I use a 5
1/2" blade that is very thin--about 1/16" or less.
