Which Combination Blade for Table Saw

[Rutabagared]

I’m in the market for a new saw blade and have narrowed it down to the Ridge Carbide 40T TS2000 Super Combo and a newcomer, the Woodpeckers Ultra-Shear 40T combo.  Does anyone have experience with either?  Thanks.

If you buy the Ridge directly from their site use the code “SNWJ10” to save $15. Great blades.

I have no experience with them but they seem to be of good quality. 

Maybe save 20.00 and get an Infinity 40 tooth blade, it also has C4 carbide like the Ridge. https://infinitytools.com/products/10-super-general-combination-saw-blades

Whichever you choose keep the blade clean and it will serve you well for a long time.....

The 40 tooth combo blade from Infinity is also great, I have several. The aforementioned Ridge has 8 flat ground raker teeth so you get a nice square bottomed groove if you plan on using it for dado cuts or finger joints.

I got the 40 tooth Fusion blade (10”) from Freud.  Rips as well as my dedicated rip blade. Cross cuts and plywood and particle board cuts are extremely clean.

I got the thin kerf also, but almost never use it.  I see it is $100.00 now.  It was less when I bought it.  I would buy it again.

Amazon has it in stock:

Thanks for the feedback.  The flat bottomed cut is appealing.

Anyone use the 12" version of the Ridge Carbide TS2000 Super Combo? The "thin kerf" version is 0.125" kerf and 48 teeth.

Thanks for the feedback.  I have several of Premier Fusions.  It is an excellent blade, especially at its price point.  I noticed the price bump too, but still consider it a bargain.  I may still get another.  The only issued I've had has been the teeth are prone to chipping.  Also, the last one I recieved had a tooth mounted so off-center that the side griding operation didn't even contact it (see below).  I didn't want to deal with the hassle so I used it as-is with no discernible effects (I quess I've been using a 39-tooth combination blade [smile]).  I would send them for resharpening as I did with my Forrest blades many times (love the Forrest but they've just become too expensive imho), but there is understandably an extra charge for teeth replacement and mine have a lot of chipped teeth.  When you combine this with the sharpening and shipping costs, it makes it impractical compared to simply buying a new one.
