Thanks

Frued makes a bunch of great blades but not all of them in all sizes. Forrest makes great blades as well. For what you want, there are a number of choices...I'm using a 96 tooth Freud myself but others including a combo blade will work as well go slow through the piece for smoother cut.I have a small miter saw, and recommendations on blade to use for cutting blanks, PR & wood?

If you are headed to setmentation - I strongly suggest you get with the segmented woodturning crowd to see some jigs for making cuts -- One excellent source is Malcolm Tibbitts (www.tahoeturner.com). He has an outstanding book and his DVDs show how he has rigged auxilary tables and holddowns as well as the cutting processes -- like making sure the blade has stopped turning before returning the blade.
Tuning the saw, getting a good blade - looking at jigs all goes together. Biggest is to assure your fingers stay a long ways from the blade by using great hold-downs to keep the pieces in control.
