FWIW if you have an extra blade you can have Forrest put on a flat grind
when resharpening.

What makes it attractive to me is the fixed 1/4" width... a dimension that
seems to come up regularly with it comes to frame and panel, tenons, box
joints, etc. No "two cuts" and no setting up a dado blade that doesn't do
end grain well and doesn't leave a truly flat bottom.... I'll leave it on my
wish list in case someone needs to buy me a gift. ;~)

That wouldn't let you hog off 1/4" in one pass, however.

And FWIW Forrest will also sell you a box joint type pair just like
the Freud, that will do a 1/4" kerf or a 3/8" kerf, with expected
price markup over the Freud.

Well in all actuality 1/4" is way too wide for frame and panel doors.
You do not often find plywood that is actually 1/4" thick.

I have a FWII blade and it is IMHO the best blade I have.
I also have a Freud Diablo, that was in my Miter saw a NICE blade.
I have a Ridge dado blade Nice...

I have a Crapsman rip blade ok..

I have a bunch of other blades not worth mentioning.

I think the Forrest is worth the money... it's not just a price markup.
I believe the Forrest is T4 carbide.. harder and finer than others. And
they excel at leaving a smooth cut.

But for a blade that might be used infrequently, I might be tempted to
try the Freud, or for about the same price if I only did 1/4" box
joints. I might try the Infinity.

I like what I saw in the video relative to using it for a tenon cutter.
But do I find it necessary. No, I use a plane to cleanup my tenon
shoulders. But it is nice, and might eliminate the need.

True if you use plywood.... not so much if you make panels from solid wood
where you have control over such things!
