Tenryu PSW-21054AB3 210mm Cross Cut 54T Saw Blade for TS75

[jnug]

Anybody tried the Tenryu PSW-21054AB3 210mm Plunge-Cut Saw Blade 54T for the TS75 yet. This is a cross cut blade. In this case it appears that the plate is actually quite a bit thinner than the stock Festool 52 tooth cross cut. Plate for the Tenryu is 1.602mm and I think all of the Festool plates are 2.4mm. Thinner means I would not chop more off my rail using this blade. Just wondering if there are any other issues or if folks have tried and liked this Tenryu as much as they have liked the other Tenryu blades on Festool saws.

The kurf on the festool blades is 2.4mm or 2.6mm the plate is thinner none of the TS75 plates are 2.4mm thick.

However the importance is the offset of the teeth to the plate on the near side, if they are the same you do not cut into the splinter strip, if they are centred you do.

Correct! I had the right information or at least the information that is available and inserted the wrong numbers. That's what I get for hauling myself directly out of the shop with its magnifiers straight to the computer. It generally takes me about a half hour before I can even see clearly after several hours in front of the shop magnifiers I have down there and you have to convert the numbers to compare them. Odd the only specs I could find on the Tenyru force you to do that.

The Kerf on the Tenryu is 2.20mm. So that is only 0.1mm to each side of center thinner kerf. That would seem insignificant from a practical perspective. But the question would remain the same. How have people done using the cross cut 54T from Tenryu. I have seen several posts regarding the Rip and what appears to be an  All purpose but none regarding the the 54T Cross Cut.
