I heeded the advice given on the forum last week and bought the Forrest WWII blade for the rigid.

I've been using a Dewalt and it's OK, probably a bit dull by now, but it's been chugging along.

I get the new blade, open it and the first thing I cut my hand on the thing it's so sharp.

I get it installed and start running some poplar and walnut and whatever else I can find around the shop. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

I'm going to send the dewalt to get sharpened and see if it feels the same as a new sharp Forrest, but I don't ever recall the Dewalt cutting like this. The thing is a joy to use.

Next time it comes on sale- Get that bad boy!

I just bought a second Forrest WWII while Forrest is sharpening my other one. I agree, these are great blades making a perfectly smooth cut.

A friend of mine took his Forrest blade to a local sharpener and said that his blade was ruined. Now when his blades need sharpening he sends them to Forrest. I do that also to avoid problems.

Kerry,
Is the number of teeth and the geometry the same of the two blades?

(The Forrest II that I have doesn't live up to its advance billing.)

Rich I got a WW II a month or so ago, not really impressed with it. It replaced a Freud and I don't see that much differenc. Maybe I need to replace my table saw
