which blades for ts55?

[DanielOB]

I am about to order a TS55 cordless saw.
-Furniture
-cabinets
-solid wood and plywood
I want to order 2 extra blades for fine-final cuts

1. Are Festool blades longer lasting and makes better cut that Freud perma-shield
2. If I order Festool blade which one is the most useful or most universal for my work (is it cross-cut one?)

Thanks

Another 48 tooth and 1-28 tooth.

The panther blade is the one I find the most useful. Ripping solid lumber is a pain without it. The blade that comes with the saw is fine for crosscut work and plywood, and if you want a better finish than that, you'd probably need to use a hand plane.

Thanks. Guys
How long one 48 teeth lasts to a cabinet maker working full time, c.40 h a week.
Please express it like one year, six months, ... Or might be you have some better yard stick.
