Thin 10 inch Blade

[RichB]

What is the thinnest blade for a 10 inch table saw. All of mine are .098. I would like one thinner if it is possable and where can I buy it. I am using a 7 1/4 skill saw blade now but is is very close to not cutting through a 3/4 blank because I have my fixture on a piese of 1/2 ply. Thanks RichB

You can get an 8 1/4" blade with a 0.080" kerf here:

other wise most 10" blades I've seen only get down to about 0.091" (a number of Freud and others) I like the .091" to .093" kerfs because they are such a close match for the three layer guitar pickguard materials I use for some segmenting- those measue .092".

Here is a chart I found at Rockler.com that gives the kerf dimension.

A 7-1/4" circular saw blade with carbide teeth works well. It will not work on a SawStop equipped TS though. Mine has a .075 kerf

Added Later; The depth of cut on a 7-1/4" saw blade is limited to about 1-9/16"

The forrest blades i have only go down to 3/32 (.95) Tenryu however has a 10in blade with .079 45 tooth. http://justsawblades.com/ten/table_saw_blades.html You will need to use a stiffiner plate with the thinner blades. My forrest saw blades cut smooth enough that i dont have to sand glue ups right off the saw.

Freud Diablo D0724X 7-1/2" is the thinnest that I've found at .059".

The thinnest 10" blade that I've found is the Avanti's at .090".
