TS 55 Blade Recommendation for Cherry

[Gwerner]

I have some 4/4 cherry in various lengths that I need to rip down for drawer fronts for my Sysport build and am wondering, is the standard blade that comes with the TS 55 sufficient or should I look at a different blade? Looking to achieve the cleanest possible cut without having to do other machining afterwards.

I use the standard blade.  Just be aware that you'll likely get some burning.  It does sand out easily, though.

No I would use a ripping blade
The 48 t blade that comes with the saw will burn

So I should be good if I went with the 14 tooth Panther blade?

Of course to muddle the waters a little bit I would suggest a compromise and tell you to look at the 28 tooth blade.  More of a combo blade and cherry isn't that hard.

Yes the 28 t will be just fine

Thanks guys.

I'll even make it more difficult and say I just used the 48 blade ripping down cherry and had no problems. I could see how one possibly could with cherry though.
