Advice on decent 10" Sliding Comp. Miter saw blade

[butzla]

I have a Makita 10" slider and need some advice on a new blade.  I'm not looking to spend much over $60.  I have a lot of experience with Forrest blades but am too cheap to drop the requisite coin on one.  Particularly if I'm leaning towards a Kapex in the summer, just a few months away.

I've gotten some really nice blades from Leitz at very good prices.

I have an FS Tool blade on my Makita and it cuts well. Don't know what they sell for in the US so I can't say if they fit your budget.

A more economical option may be a Freud blade off Amazon. They quite often have them on sale.

Dan purchase the Forrest and just sell it to me for 50% when you are done. Then you get one of the best blades for about the same as a Frued. 

They are the only blades I use and they can be sharpened so many times it is worth it in the long run.

freud makes a pretty good one.
it's a 60 t,and it is made for slidding saws.# LU91M,or try the cabinet maker crosscut #LU73M,i had the 12" version of this one and it was good
i think the price is about $60.00.

Thanks Mastercabman,  I just bought a Freud blade on Amazon for $38.00 free shipping.
