UHMW recommended Saw Blade

[krudawg]

I've got a Hammer K3 Winner and am looking for recommendations for a saw blade that cuts UHMW and fits the Hammer 30mm Arbor with two pin holes

choose an ATB blade with few teeth, say 24 maximum.  expect some cleanup at any rate

I cut some 6mm thick UHMW sheets on my Minimax SC2C using the normal crosscut blade.  I won't be doing that again!  Even though I had the dust extractor on, I don't think any of the UHMW chips made it past the inside of the saw chassis.  The static cling nearly evenly coated the inside of my saw with the chips and it took me a long time to clean it out.

Most any blade with zero hook or even better a negative hook. UHMW machines very nicely.

Standard combination blade on K3 …

No special blade required. I have even hand planed it.

Bandsaw finished shaping on this one….

Thanks Derek.  BTW as a Hammer K3 owner myself; what is that pole for on your miter guage?

THAT is really nice; did you fabricate that or buy it?

Thanks Derek.  I actually found one on Alibaba - about $40 US.  Should be here in 75 days.
